Staff Testimonials

Ed Smith

EFL Teacher

I’ve worked for ORA for five consecutive summers – soon to be six – and there are plenty of reasons why I keep coming back. My first three summers as a counsellor were fantastic as I hadn’t quite realised that jobs could be so enjoyable and addictive. My favourite things in life were combined as each day I played sport, met interesting new people from all corners of the world, and organised and took part in various exciting activities. This was enhanced by working with a team whom I could not only trust in a professional manner but who became great friends too. In 2014 I became a qualified English teacher and moved on from counselling to teaching EFL. Over the last two years this has been a brilliant experience – regularly working with intelligent and creative students who impress me more and more each course, having access to outstanding resources, and being able to rely on excellent, professional support whenever I need it. For students ORA is a superb place to study, and for staff it is an equally wonderful place to work.
