Meet Sally born and bred in Guernsey. She has a son and a daughter, and in her spare time she can be found with a good book and a cat or two on my lap. She also love anything arty, especially drawing pet portraits. 
Sally graduated from the University of Exeter in 1990 with a BA in French and Education. 
She was a teacher at Hautes Capelles primary school for over 30 years and was in charge of Modern foreign languages for the last 5 years, teaching French to years 2-6. 
She has always enjoyed working with children of all ages, so her early retirement didn’t last long! She has been working for the Language Workshop for nearly a year now and feel honoured to be part of such a friendly and enthusiastic team.

Meet Leon, our young yet remarkably Teaching Assistant who has been a valued member of our team since September 2025. Having lived in France for four years, he developed strong French language skills while remaining a proud Guernsey local. Leon is known for his positive, can-do attitude, reliability, and genuine commitment to supporting children in their learning and development.

Outside of the classroom, Leon is very sporty and active. He enjoys cycling, walking, going to the gym, and playing football, which helps him connect well with pupils and bring energy and enthusiasm to his role. His approachable nature and strong work ethic make him a highly respected and appreciated member of our team.

Meet Melanie, our wonderful French teacher working on a part-time basis.

Melanie is a French primary school teacher and trained educator, passionate about teaching and sharing knowledge in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. She places great importance on the cultural dimension of language learning and focus primarily on oral practice to help learners gain confidence and real-life communication skills. I enjoy meeting new people and creating positive, engaging learning experiences. On a personal note, she has been living in Guernsey since October 2025, and in her free time she loves running and cooking good food.
