Directors

Miranda Russell, a graduate in Biomedical Science, achieved her English Language teaching certificate because she is dedicated to teaching English at all levels and to students of all ages. She has a background in business and has worked at J.P. Morgan Chase prior to taking up her English teaching posts. She is highly regarded as a teacher and they had this to say in praise of her contribution to the school: “Miranda has gone beyond her duties as a teacher by participating with enthusiasm and foresight in her school’s open day events.”

Peter Starbuck is a graduate in Politics and Philosophy. He is a qualified English Language teacher, currently studying for his Masters in Linguistics. He has been working for an English School in South Korea as the sole English teacher for their four sites. They had this to say in recommending him: “Peter has been consistent in his commitment to teaching and encouraging his students with patience while maintaining a high level of respect towards the learners and his colleagues.”

Tudor Hall Academy

Tudor Hall was presented to us 18 months ago as an excellent venue for us to carry on our English Language courses. We are blessed to have this beautiful property.

At Tudor Hall, lessons will be conducted in small groups or one-to-one tuition, nevertheless, it is a residential learning establishment for a maximum of twelve students. Our largest class will not exceed the standard ten recommended by the British Council for maximum efficiency.

There are six bedrooms, two reception rooms, plus one large presentation room extending the full length of the property. Of course, there are bathrooms, a kitchen and a separate utility room. There is also a small summer house in the garden, where a class can be held. There are extra cooking facilities in this site as well.

Students may choose if they wish to occupy a single room or share with another person. Of course, this will depend on availability at the time: single, double or twin. Our aim is to enable the students to achieve the best results possible!
