The admin team at UIC is one of the most important parts of our operation. From the moment you make an enquiry, to processing your enrolment, dealing with payments,  monitoring your attendance, helping you with all the things you’ll need help with outside your class, accommodation, transport, work placements, or just general information – then you’ll be in contact with one of our admin team. This is a group of 6 people who work closely together to make sure you have a great experience – if you have booked your course through an agent or directly one of them will be the first people you come into contact with, and from then on every time you do anything that is outside  your  class you will need one of them! Some of the students in the school don’t meet the admin team, maybe they only come for a short time or perhaps they have no problems – but there is certainly a large amount of contact behind the scenes. We will have processed your booking,a rranged your accommodation and prepared for your arrival. Most of the students in the school will, at one time or another, find some reason to ask for help or advice, and don’t forget that between them they speak Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Chinese and Turkish – so if you’re not sure how to ask for something in English you can always try your own language (not too often though!) As we teach Japanese and German we can also help you in those languages. Also, Yeliz and Sonia have been English teachers in other countries and perhaps most importantly all of them have lived in other countries, so we do know what you feel like trying to live in London as a foreigner.   Yeliz and Vivianne work in the school office – on the 2nd floor in the school (next to the e-learning lounge) and Sonya, Sofia, Angelika and Ahmed work next door in our offices at no 80 Mortimer Street. If you want to talk to any of us just ask.

We also have a group of people working on our children’s summer schools throughout the year (Gaynor and David) although this will increase to around 80 staff in the summer and Javier and Susie running the foreign language courses based in London.
