"Working with Bellerbys Cambridge allows me to combine my interests: travel and culture. My job is truly rewarding and fulfilling.

Students arrive on the Foundation course being able to write 100-word essays but leave being able to write essays of more than 1500 words! They grow so much in confidence and arrive at university better prepared than their native English-speaking peers.

In addition to my normal teaching I run a weekly class teaching Chinese to Bellerbys staff, which contributes to the development of the college. Staff here all work together and those in charge are always open to new suggestions to help improve the college. We all really care about the students’ welfare and do what we can to support them in every way. And in my opinion, the city of Cambridge is the most beautiful city in England during the summer!"
