She has taught for three years at a school in the North West of England and has now begun her third year teaching at the wonderful St Christopher’s.

Her passion grew further in teaching and teaching children from a different language and culture. After leaving her Au Pair family she then travelled around Italy taking in the language, history and far too much food! Since then she has never looked back! Millie loves travel, languages, culture, adventures and learning new skills. She is super excited to be back teaching for another year in this beautiful part of the world!
