I love what I do! I work with wonderful people from around the globe, and I get to travel regularly. Ok, not physically, but through my students. The only people I know who get to travel to so many different places without having to live out of a suitcase, are my colleagues.
Somewhat vicarious some might say – wouldn’t you rather go there yourself? Sometimes yes, but it is really special being able to share a student’s journey - from a little idea or dream, to starting their course and then going, it is lovely to be a part of it.
As many of you may know, one of our French students recently bought his one-way ticket to France. He is now settling in in the heart of Paris, and this week, resumes his French course via Skype.
In a few weeks another student will get married in Greece and for the first time, be able to have some simple conversations with her new extended family.
In addition, every day I get to hear my wonderful tutors share their language and culture with our students-helping the dream become a reality.
So keep dreaming, keep travelling-I’m there!
