Linda Rankine
Linda speaks Cantonese and Mandarin as well as English. Contact her here.
"Hello! My name is Linda and I come from China. I became an English teacher in China after my undergraduate study, and then joined an international company. I felt the desire to travel and decided do my second degree in the UK. I chose Lancaster University because it has a very good reputation and the Management School is one of the best in the country. I thoroughly enjoyed my MA in Management and Organisational Learning. The teaching is of a very high standard and the staff are extremely helpful. The course enhanced my competence and ability to respond effectively to changing demands at work, not to mention how to integrate successfully into English society. I have many fond memories of my time at Lancaster: the inspirational tutors, meeting people of all different nationalities and backgrounds, visiting Edinburgh, Dublin, Cambridge and London, long walks in the Lake District, dancing at the Sugar House on Friday nights…
I am very pleased to now be counselling students who are interested in studying at Lancaster University. I understand it is a big decision to make, but I am sure my knowledge and experience will help you make the right decision. I speak fluent English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Please feel free to contact me with any queries. I look forward to hearing from you and I will do my best to help."
Radek Falkowski
Radek speaks Polish, German and a little Russian, as well as English. Contact him here.
"Hello! I'm Radek. I find myself here in England, pushed by the urge to travel. In the past this desire has taken me to many different places such as the USA and Germany, where I brushed up on my language and communication skills in German and English. As I originally come from Poland, I had a chance to learn some Russian at school and then practise it during my short visits to Ukraine and Belarus. Unfortunately, in that language I am far from fluent. I have always found learning languages fascinating, opening the doors to many different worlds, and before I knew it, I became a teacher of English myself. Now, I'm happy to be a part of a bigger picture - helping people from all over the world learn the most spoken language on Earth. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you might have and I'll do my best to help you."
Henrik Gundersen
Henrik speaks Spanish and Norwegian as well as English. Contact him here.
"Hello! My name is Henrik Gundersen and I come from Norway. Like many of our students I have lived in different countries and learnt new languages, and in my opinion the benefits of an international learning environment cannot be measured. If you choose Lancaster University, I am confident that you will not only graduate with a very good degree, but you will also have made friends from all around the world who you can then visit afterwards - what better excuse to travel the world! My area of responsibility is Africa, so if that is where you are from, please feel free to contact me and I shall do what I can to help!"

Alessandro Lotito 
Alessandro speaks Italian, Spanish, some French and English. Contact him here.
"Hi everybody! My name is Alex (Alessandro), and I come from the lovely, warm and sunny Italy. Perugia is my city. I love my country but I moved and I am now working in England as a Student Enrolment Adviser. I speak Italian, English, Spanish and some French. Since you cannot say you know a foreign language without visiting the country, I spent time in Spain, France and England for holiday and study and I loved it because I like to travel. The world is too big to remain in your own country. I am also a computer and internet expert: I look at the internet as one of the biggest inventions of the modern human history so I am always online. Feel free to contact me at any time for any questions. Ciao!"

Hello! My name is Kamel Koufi and I’m from Algeria.
I have recently moved to the beautiful city of Brighton after living for a few years in London. In addition to my university studies in languages and project management, I’ve previously worked in various roles involving training and education. This helped me acquire a strong knowledge about UK universities and colleges and understand the needs of international students. I also speak fluently Arabic, English and French. I am also tempted to say I speak a little bit of Spanish but not enough (un poco!)
I have travelled a lot and visited many countries and made so many friends. I know most of Middle Eastern and North African countries (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman, Lebanon, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt…).
