I welcome you to our school which I started in 1995. I chose Bury St Edmunds as the location because this is where I love to be and I feel that others will also love staying and studying here.

I would like to assure you that we provide only the highest quality teaching and accommodation. Teaching is my passion and therefore I ensure that all the staff share in this.

I am here to make your experience a postive one. I will assist in your registration and take care of you from the moment you arrive in the UK.

I have travelled across Asia and Australia. I love sport, especially football, and now enjoy time with the family as a father of three.
