What they say

'we graduated from the University of Bath last year, having examined Global Management and French. Is totally honest, upon making university, I becamen’t completely sure the thing I wished to do after that. But I understood that employed by a respected organization that performed great work across countries was worth addressing for me. We saw an exciting chance to show English in Quebec, with the British Council, so decided to go on.
