How many junior students do you expect next year?

In summer we usually have between 150 and 180 students here in Cambridge.

Where do students come from?

The nationalities vary every year, but typically we have Spanish, Chinese, Brazilians, French, Polish, Italians and one or two Germans!

What do you like best about your job?

I love to see students talking about their countries and showing pictures or videos on the interactive whiteboards. I love to see how freely and easily young people today can use the technology we have. It amazes me how much better they are than me with computers and gadgets!

What are the highlights of the social programme ?

I think the best thing is punting on the river in Cambridge along the backs of the beautiful colleges, but the students always seem to enjoy the discos the most!

What is your personal must-see in Cambridge?

The city centre is so beautiful - just walk around and look at the ancient colleges is my advice. I never get tired of the view of the colleges from the river. But perhaps my favourite spot of all in summer is the Orchards at Grantchester where you can enjoy a fabulous cream tea in a beautiful English countryside setting.
