The Team

CÉLINE ALOÉ

I have been in this business for longer than I care to remember. Language learning and teaching have always been more of a passion to me than a job. I feel strongly that the experience that the young people have with us is one that they will remember for a very long time and what I love about our team is that we all care about what we do.

English is an ever more important language in the world and yes, it is a huge benefit to these young people to come to the UK to learn it. However, I believe that it is also a huge benefit to them to experience a different culture, be away from home and have to cope with all that it entails and meet and befriend people their own age from all over the world.

RAFF CUTOLO

What a journey mine has been with UKLC! I joined the company in the summer of 2005, when I worked as an English and Dance Teacher. I then came back every year and was given the opportunity to develop professionally by covering a variety of roles: Course Director, Centre Manager, Assistant Academic Director. Since 2016 I have been leading the company’s Academic team and I absolutely love it.

Why? Because it’s great to be part of a team that is dedicated to creating innovative programmes for both learners and teachers.

I am very proud of the high quality we offer in our programmes, as well as of the excellent academic profile for which we are known in the industry.

It really is an honour for me to be part of the amazing UKLC family.
