Bio
Catherine Cole
Lauren excelled in this newly created role at ICE. She developed the role into a key position within the team and devised and delivered a number of pilot membership development programmes in the Middle East, South Asia and South East Asia. She demonstrated excellent communication skills and was comfortable operating at all levels and consistently received great feedback from prospective members who she coached through the qualification process. A great team player and a great asset.

I really enjoyed working with Lauren both in her role within the central marketing team and as part of our Asian operation. This was because Lauren has that wonderful gift of having both a warm, engaging and empathetic personality and also a genuine hunger, passion and business acumen. She has been successful with audiences outside the UK which is also a real credit to Lauren's adaptability and application.

Jan 2019 - Aug 2020
I work closely with preschool. primary and secondary school children and adult learners as they work to develop their English language skills. This includes regular group classes and private lessons. I plan and deliver circa 24 hours of teaching per week whilst monitoring the development of each student via regular progress tests and interaction with parents via Class Dojo and face to face updates. My lessons include a mixture of receptive and productive skills delivered via project based learning with a strong focus on functional and academic language. I produce kinesthetic materials to support learning for school children and use CELTA methodology to support adult learners with a particular focus on transition from regular English to business English.

The activity I undertook overseas in 2017 accounted for 70% of total increase of international student membership for the year. I managed a global team with direct reports based in Kuala Lumpur, India, UAE and Hong Kong. Show less
