ACADEMICMANAGEMENTI have been involved in English Teaching since 1989, when I began my career in Bangkok.

Since then I have taught and examined students and trained teachers worldwide and have always worked hard to improve the quality of the teaching that I am responsible for ; whether in my own classroom, in a college or through the standards I encourage in those I train as future English teachers.

It is my job to organise all the teaching and learning programmes in the College and I will help you with any academic matters you may need to discuss.

My door is always open and I really value any suggestions students have to help me make Golders Green College the best place to study English in London.

Welcome toGolders Green CollegeDear Student

Welcome to Golders Green College.

I have been a teacher for over 20 years and Principal of this college since 1990. It was established in 1941, making it one of the oldest in London. Our teacher trainers lead a wonderful group of dedicated teachers.

As well as lessons you pay for, you can also attend our free practice classes in the afternoons when our teacher training courses are running.

Our reception staff work really hard to help you in so many ways. We all want you to enjoy your studies and have a great experience in London.

We always want to give you the best service, so your ideas or suggestions are welcome.

I hope you choose Golders Green College. We are here to make your learning objectives come true!

Yours faithfully,

David Simons, MA, RSA Cert.TEFL
