Margaret Jarvis: Director of Studies dos@newschool.co.uk
I was born and brought up in London. I studied languages and literature at university, and then worked in France and Germany (best job: courier; worst job: chambermaid). I qualified as a teacher in Cambridge and taught in a secondary school here and in Cologne. I'm married with three children. I have taught at the school for a long time, and became Director of Studies in 2005.
Trevor Bryant: Teacher
I was born in London and studied Social Sciences at London University. I have worked as a teacher for many years, including two years in Japan. I'm married with two children (both boys!) and in my spare time I like playing music and watching football - like most English men!
Sarah Marsden: Teacher
I was born in the North of England, studied French and Arabic at the University of Leeds and have been teaching Exam Courses, General and Business English for seventeen years. I live in Cambridge with my partner and our three children, who are always ready to offer lots of good advice on making lessons more interesting.
Tom Conway: Teacher
I've been a teacher for about ten years. I lived in Greece for four years - I taught in Athens and also a small town in the north. I also did some work in Austria and Italy, then I started working here - almost five years now! I make music, draw and watch films and DVDs when I'm not here. Sometimes you might find me in the pub as well!
Nanci Sparks: Teacher
I'm from California and spent seven wonderful years in Spain when I was younger. I've been a language teacher for about 15 years. Outside class my time is taken up by my family (one husband and one teenage daughter) and our six well-travelled American pets (four dogs and two cats).
Clare Henderson: Teacher
I grew up in Glasgow and did a degree in Modern Languages at Aberdeen University. I've been teaching for 20 years, but am not as well-travelled as some of my colleagues: I only got as far as Germany, where I taught for four years. In Cambridge, I love spending time with my young son, reading, playing tennis and watching trashy TV.
