Working for Language Services Direct as a French trainer represented for me a unique professional experience. For over 8 years I had the immense privilege to be part of a team of trainers for many different languages, all qualified, experienced, team players, passionate about their language and culture and always keen to share their experiences, materials, new media ... Language Services Direct is a company I enjoyed working with while in the UK as they have always been supportive, respectful of our own way of teaching, encouraging new methods, and always ready to facilitate our work. They value autonomy while being supportive when needed. Working for Languages Services Direct was also, for me, a unique experience in the sense that most of the trainees I taught were from different sectors (finance, media, government...) with multiple cultural and professional backgrounds. This enriched my own knowledge of the business, allowed me to learn as much as I taught and made these many years I shared with Language Services Direct a valuable, unique and outstanding professional and personal experience.
