GEOS Cairns College of English

Sarah

Hello, I am Sarah. I was an English teacher for many years before taking up my current position as Academic Coordinator. It is now my job to ensure that Cairns College of English is providing the best possible instruction to our students.

One of my interests is traveling—I have been to Taiwan, London, South East Asia, South America, Europe, Canada and the United States. In fact, one of my most memorable experiences was driving around the US and Canada in an old Dodge campervan.

Angie

Hi, I’m Angie. I have taught in Japan and Australia and have been teaching with GEOS for eight years. I like teaching because I enjoy learning about the different cultures of my students.

I also enjoy going to the beach, dancing, listening to music (I have hundreds of CDs!), playing with my cat, and—most importantly—enjoying life.

Tom

Hi, I’m Tom and I’m originally from England. In the last ten years I’ve lived and worked around the world in France, New Zealand and most recently Japan. I’ve wanted to work in Cairns for a long time because of the relaxing lifestyle, friendly people and good food so I was very happy to move here earlier this year! Another reason I came here is because I love being outdoors and I spend a lot of my free time hiking, cycling and taking photographs.

I think Cairns the best place in the world to come and learn English so I hope to see you here very soon!

I was born in Cairns and love living in the cleanest, most scenic city in Australia. I have traveled to many countries but always call Cairns home.
The lifestyle, people and environment make you feel wonderful, as there are always lots to see and do.
