Meet the Staff
Dan Saatcioglu, School Principal
Hello, my name is Dan. Over the years I have had the opportunity of teaching, training, and managing courses in schools, colleges, and universities across the UK, and spent lots of time working with people from all over the world, and lived in wonderful places like Turkey, Brazil, Poland and Holland.
As Principal, I have the pleasure of welcoming you to our school in Brighton and ensuring you get the most out of your language and cultural journey with us. I am pleased to say that the school has a very friendly and knowledgeable team of teachers and student services staff who are always happy to help. We look forward to working with you.
Freya Garbett, Director of Studies
Hello, I’m Freya and I’m the Director of Studies for Brighton. I started at the school as a teacher back in 2015 and during my time here I have taught pretty much everything you can imagine (and some classes you probably can’t). I still enjoy helping students as much as I can and you can usually find me working with a cup of coffee at my desk in the teacher’s room. Since I became the Director of Studies in 2017 I have really loved getting to meet all the students, not just ones in my classes, and working with all the fantastic teachers that we have at the school. When I am not being the Director you can usually find me out exploring the Great British Countryside so if you ever want ideas for the weekend, please come and ask.
Sarah Partington, Assistant Director of Studies
Hi, my name is Sarah and I’m the Assistant Director of Studies at Brighton school. I’m originally from Brighton and very proud of this beautiful, exciting city. I started my teaching career in 2010 and spent three and a half years living and teaching in Vietnam, which was an amazing experience, but eventually I missed my home and came back in 2013. I’ve been working at the school since then. I’ve loved it here, working with some absolutely incredible teachers in this school’s warm and friendly environment. I worked as a teacher here for four years before moving up to my current position as Assistant Director. I am here to support teachers and students and can usually be found in the teacher’s room or running around the building clutching pieces of paper and books. I love my work and am always happy to help.
Terrie Mountford, Accommodations Manager
Hi, I’m Terrie and I’m the Accommodation Manager. I have worked here for over 8 years and love placing students with families. The most lovely part of my day is interacting with students and hearing all about their host families and their lives at home. I’ve lived in Brighton all my life, and have worked previously at other language schools as Accommodation Manager which means I have a great relationship with students and hosts. I have three sons and my husband is in a Beatles Tribute band! I’m a Tottenham fan so if you’re into football let me know!
Lizzie Fletcher, Student Services Manager
Hello, my name is Lizzie and I am the Student Services Manager for Brighton. I am here to support you on your journey in Brighton. I have lived in Brighton most of my life, but for the first 8 years I grew up in South Africa. Growing up abroad increased my interest for visiting new places and I have continued visiting new countries as an adult. When I am at home on the weekends, I enjoy doing anything active. I love walking my dog in the country or down by the river on a nice sunny day. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and finding new and exciting things to do.
You will find me in the main reception area of the school, so if you have any questions, or just want to stop by and say hello, please do!
