Our Team

Andy Day - Head of Method Development and Training
“I am often asked how Avalon’s courses are different to others. We are teaching spoken English, which uses different vocabulary and grammar from written English."

"Our method books have just been updated for 2009 to lead students into conversation even more naturally. Avalon has expanded its method beyond just speaking. What we’ve done with speaking we can do with the other areas of English.”

Donna Boyle - Head of Academic Team

"Sometimes I interview students who have studied English at another language school for around six months, but they aren’t confident when they speak. Many tell me that they came to Avalon because it was strongly recommended by an ex-student."

"After just a few months a complete beginner at Avalon can chat confidently in discussion classes and when I hear them speaking English so easily with their international group of friends I feel very proud that their time at Avalon has been so successful.”


Alex Tustain - Senior Teacher

“Unlike many schools Avalon offers a wide range of skills courses to complement its direct method speaking classes. The skills classes are fun and creative for both the teachers and the students."

"There is a friendly and lively atmosphere in and out of the classrooms, making Avalon a great place to both study and work.”

 

Sandra Castilla - Reception Manager
"We have a multi-lingual team on reception, which means that you can speak to someone in your native language about any questions you have about Avalon English courses, accommodation or life in London.

Of course, to help you practise your English, we will encourage you to ask us questions in English as well!"

Sherry Boulahia-Johnson - Welfare Officer
"I can help you with any personal problems you may have while you are staying in London."

"Simply ask at reception to book an appointment with me"
