My name is Hannah and I am so looking forward to working at Brownlee this summer! I am a secondary school History teacher, so I work with children all year round, which I love! I love teaching children new skills and giving them new experiences – so an international summer school is the perfect job for me! I am most looking forward to the discos, games and showing children the fabulous sights that Scotland has to offer! 

This is my fourth summer working on Suzanne’s team and my second year at Brownlee as Lead Residential - I cant wait to meet this year’s students and seeing students from previous summers!! If you have any questions, please just find me and ask! ​

Teaching staff

Hi, my name is Daniel Hoyos Flight.  I'm a dedicated English teacher and Managing Director of The English School, in Alicante, Spain.  After almost 10 years teaching experience in schools and summer camps in Spain and U.K., I'm delighted to have the opportunity of teaching at the summer camp 2020 at Glenalmond College Language School. 

Last year I taught at the BLISS summer camp and found it to be a fantastic experience. Providing students with a great programme of learning and leisure activities gave me the great satisfaction of seeing how the students benefitted from having full-immersion in English and how they became so much more motivated to communicate in English in this fun environment.

As I am half Spanish and half Scottish.I have a cultural mix of which I am proud of and I enjoy introducing cultural customs and traditions as part of the learning process. I grew up between Spain and Scotland, and in fact have family roots in the beautiful city of Perth.

I graduated as an English teacher at the University in Madrid and gained the TESOL certificate in Barcelona. Apart from teaching, I have also worked as an Analyst in Business Consultancy. I have travelled around New Zealand, Brazil, Thailand and Europe and have acquired life experiences that complement my teaching skills.

However, one of the trips that really impressed me was this year, when I visited the Highlands of Scotland and the capital city of Edinburgh! The spectacular scenery of the north and the history entailed in Edinburgh Castle, and the city itself (known as Athens of the north) is absolutely amazing.

I was thrilled to see that one of the excursions at the summer camp is to St.Andrews, which is one of my favourite places. Apart, from having a world famous university, and the Royal Ancient Golf Club, the Himalaya putting Green and the West Sands beach are awesome.

I am currently involved in teaching and preparing children, teenagers and adults for Cambridge University English Exams. I really enjoy teaching as it allows me to combine my different skills and it is always challenging.  Throughout my work teaching I have always believed in connecting with students in motivation, setting goals and combining work and fun.

​Today, Universities and future employers are demanding a higher level of English, and encouraging students to be motivated and challenged is essential for their future success. This summer will provide the perfect ingredients to learn lots and have fun in the wonderful surroundings of the Scottish countryside. I look forward to meeting you all!

My name is Rachael and I am really excited to be joining BLISS this year! I am really looking forward to meeting a new group of children and showing them around the gorgeous Glenalmond College campus. I am a secondary school French and Spanish student teacher, as well as an English teacher, so I love working with young people and watching them learn a new language!

​I have been teaching English for 5 years now, and this will be my 3rd summer working with Suzanne. My favourite thing about camp is seeing all the friendships that are made, I can’t wait to meet everyone and maybe sing my heart out at the disco. See you in June!

Management

Picture
Hi, I am Suzanne. I have been a teacher since 2001, I have managed schools in the UK and abroad and I worked in Italy for over ten years, as a teacher. I gained my Diploma in TESOL in 2017, which allows me to act as Academic Manager at Brownlee Schools. I am really passionate about providing the best possible English language provision for our students, while ensuring they have the best fun summer possible!

I am also the Managing Director of the school, which means that I get to travel around meeting many of our students who are staying in summer before they come over - which gives me a great insight into their cultures and languages. I did my university degree in Glasgow, in Scotland (where I am from) in Marketing and Communication. I really love my job as I can combine lots of skills into the one thing I adore - teaching English! I also work as a TEFL teacher trainer through the year. My aim is to find the perfect balance between summer and school. If you have any questions before, during or after your stay, don't hesitate to get in touch!
