She's the best!

If you have been sending emails to the school recently asking questions about courses, accommodation, social activities, London underground, the weather, IELTS exams... or anything else... you will have been in contact with Alejandra.
She is a one-woman army who fights with all her energy to get the best for her students. Sometimes there's a phone call from a student who says "I sent an email and you haven't replied yet."
"When did you send it?" asks Alejandra.
"10 minutes ago."



Alejandra is from Argentina and originally came to London in 1999 to study at Camden College of English with her boyfriend. Three years later she came back to take a Cambridge exam and the boyfriend had become a husband. And they're still here!

For the last four years she has been working with me in the office - and even though there are times of stress (moving to the new building, busy summers with lots of accommodation requests, British Council inspections), Ale is always positive.

So if you are coming to study here, be nice to her and if she looks stressed make her a coffee (with milk and one sugar!).
