Enrol nowOur teachers
Every Northbridge teacher is qualified, experienced and permanently employed. Most have been with the school for more than five years, so students are taught by teachers who know them.
Director of Studies · Cambridge English specialist
Sarah has taught at Northbridge since 2011 and leads our Cambridge programmes. She writes our mock examination papers, trains new teachers in the Cambridge marking criteria and holds termly tutorials with every exam candidate.
IELTS and Academic English
Daniel prepares students for university study in the UK and abroad. He has ten years of IELTS experience, a particular interest in academic writing and referencing, and supports applicants with their band targets from first placement test to results day.
Young Learner and Teen Coordinator
Maria teaches our children's and teen classes and coordinates the young learner curriculum. She trained as a primary school teacher before specialising in English language teaching, and runs the parents' evenings each term.
Business and General English
James works with professionals and in-company groups across Greater Manchester. Before teaching he spent eight years in logistics management, which informs a practical approach built around meetings, negotiation and written correspondence.
Teaching standards
All of our teachers hold CELTA or an equivalent qualification, and several hold DELTA. We run internal workshops each term, observe lessons twice a year and fund external training, because good teaching does not stand still. New teachers are mentored for their first two terms by a member of the academic team.
