Academic Manager (National)

"The first job that I ever got was as an English teacher and I have continued to work in the ELICOS industry since 2007. When I got the opportunity to become an Academic Manager very early in my career I leapt at the opportunity. I am really passionate about creating new methods of interaction and learning and developing a more holistic approach to teaching. I always try to understand the student’s point of view by putting myself in their shoes and try to create teaching methods and courses that appeal to them. I believe that a great teacher can change the life of a student. I am so happy to be surrounded by so many wonderful teachers at English Unlimited giving students the experience of a lifetime."

Assistant Academic Manager (Sydney)

"As a child I always loved learning new words from reading books like Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five and The Secret Seven. It gave me a great feeling of satisfaction to be able to express exactly how I felt and what I thought using a brand new word in the right context. I guess this is where my love of language started. At Sydney University I studied a Master of Teaching in TESOL and Indonesian and found the theories of how humans acquire a second language fascinating. I was hooked. Then I started teaching at Fudan University in Shanghai, China, and loved every minute of it. Not only was I helping students develop a new language, but I was equipping them with a skill that would improve their circumstances in life. Now I’ve been in the international education industry for 17 years and my passion for learning and teaching language is as strong as the day I began. I hope that at EU we can instill the same passion in you!"

Campus Director (QLD) & Corporate Student Experience Director

"I came to Australia in 2003 from South Korea and I love my life here. At the weekend, my family often go to the beach and bush walking; amazing nature is something Australia offers as well as a safe and clean environment, cultural diversity and friendly people. Working at a school with international students is truly amazing and I love every minute of it. The world comes to me without me having to visit each country. Since the beginning of my career, I have met intelligent, fabulous, fun and exciting people from more than 40 countries. Learning English definitely opened a door to a whole new world and I hope you can join us to expand your future potential."

I love giving them all my best language learning strategies and believe in empowering every single learner. I have taught students for almost ten years now and find the huge range of nationalities a blessing. I have taught Academic English, General English, and IELTS Preparation for so many years and always have extra energy for every student. I am also the Social Activities Coordinator and take students out of the classroom, which is a fun and brilliant way to see them really using their English speaking skills."

Dalveen

Receptionist (Sydney)

"I was born and raised in Australia but my background is Fijian/Indian. I've been working at the college since March 2008.

I love to meet different people from all over the world. I like seeing new faces and the excitement of meeting new people and finding out about different countries and cultures is one of the best aspects of my job.

Another reason I enjoy working in this environment: it is an opportunity for learning and development and I love seeing students' progress.

For students thinking of coming to study in Australia, I say Australia is a great country because it is multicultural and there's so much to explore.

The advice I would like to give to students is to appreciate that they have the opportunity to have a good education and live life to the fullest."
