Annie provides student support services, and covers schools and host families in the East of England.
Anglo-French parents, a childhood in Indonesia and Tunisia, and education in an English boarding school has given Annie a very international outlook.
Annie has always been interested in language – the way we communicate ourideas, hopes and dreams. She began teaching English as a foreign language whist living in London, and after her family moved to Suffolk, taught French at Fairstead House and Culford Prep schools.
When she left teaching, she wanted to continue to work with schools and children, so educational guardianship for international students is an ideal match.
“I adore working with children. I find them incredibly refreshing and imaginative. It is a privilege to work with them and share a journey in their young lives.”

“Having recently experienced life as an international student in England, I understand the challenges, and hope I can use my experience to help our students feel at home.”
