Our people

As a Subject Leader, I help to monitor students’ progress by exams and assessments, and to give them any help and advice they need. For example, students have homework and receive feedback in class every week, and mid-term mock exams allow us to track how well they are developing.

We therefore have a solid system of identifying if you need extra help in particular areas, and we do our best to ensure you are fully prepared for your university degree.

The most rewarding thing about working here is the hugely diverse environment. Every day, I have the chance to interact with people of many cultures worldwide – not just among the students, but the College staff too. It’s really satisfying to share different ideas, as I help students achieve a shared goal of progressing to university.

The most rewarding thing about working at the International College is the chance to build confidence in students from such a wide range of backgrounds. As a teacher, I enjoy discovering new learning styles and different ways to teach and engage our students.

I really enjoy seeing our students develop as academics and grow as people. By the time they leave the College, they are fully prepared for university. They become better writers and speakers, have confidence in their ideas and are able to form powerful arguments.

Working as a Learning Support Tutor is a very rewarding experience. During one-to-one tutorials, I discuss your coursework with you, answer questions about life in the UK, and offer supportive and friendly advice.

I will also help you get the best out of your studies, and set academic goals that you can work towards.

I provide useful advice throughout your course and encourage you with your self-directed study. I do my best to make sure you succeed with us and progress to your university degree.

Language is the tool which translates our creative energy into material understanding. How wonderfully brave, adventurous and wise to study English in a city with great cultural and linguistic breadth. When you have the opportunity, every once in a while, live through the words and create your own “New York.”

I enjoy many aspects of teaching at the College, particularly working with a diverse group of students from many different backgrounds and cultures. It’s a privilege to help encourage and draw out their potential, and support them on their journey towards their future careers.

The College’s close relationship with the University of Glasgow creates excellent opportunities for students. We use the University’s facilities, so students are familiar with the resources before they even start their degrees. I also use technology in my classes to engage students and help me assess their understanding. My ultimate goal is to make sure students are ready for their transition to their university degree.
