Learn Today Lead Tomorrow
Hello, my name is Finbar and I live in Dublin, Ireland. I started with Lines back in 2015 as an RC, before becoming an English Teacher and leading our Lines Best of Britain Programme.
I’ve enjoyed every aspect of working for Lines. I am very excited to be working as Centre Manager at Downe House this year.
Hello, my name is Lorraine, originally from the UK, I live in Cordoba in the South of Spain with my husband and dog, Kira. I started working for Lines at Downe House in 2019, where I was an English Teacher and taught on our Lines Elite Programme.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Downe House! Watching the students having fun, making friends and improving their English skills has been very rewarding. I’m looking forward to coming back to Lines, this time at Queenswood in my role as Centre Manager.

I first started working for LINES as an English Teacher in 2009. Since then, I have taken on several roles as Senior Teacher, Director of Studies, Covid & Welfare Manager, and now Head of LINES UK. Both Downe House and Queenswood are truly stunning campus settings, which combined with the LINES Languages education programme and fantastic team has contributed to the enthusiasm of both staff and students alike, to return year after year.
Centre Manager, Valbonne, France
Hello, my name is Emilie and I live in Lille, France. I’ve been working for LINES since 2015, first as a French Teacher, then Academic Manager and now, Centre Manager.
Working for LINES, Valbonne is the best part of my summer: every member of the team is fully dedicated to the learning and well-being of the students and does their best to work in a motivating and caring atmosphere. Watching the students improve day by day while having fun is what we live for, it’s a very rewarding experience for everyone!
Center Manager at Valbonne, France
My name is Cyril. I have been working at LINES for 6 years. I am the Center Manager at Valbonne and I used to work at LINES as a Director of studies and a French teacher. I work as well as a primary school teacher in Brittany, France. I can teach French to children and teenagers through many projects, to develop the interest of the students and make their experience enjoyable!
I studied English and Spanish languages in France and abroad, in Seville, Spain. I taught French as a foreign language in England and Mexico. I have been teaching for more than 7 years! I love travelling and knowing new people all around the world!
LINES is for me the best way to spend time on your holiday!
My name is Arno and I am the son of Dirk and his assistant. I have been at LINES for more than 15 years, as a student, a residential councilor, a member of the office and now as a full-time employee.
I studied International Business at the University of Maastricht. I love traveling and since my childhood I have lived in different countries such as England and Spain. I speak three languages and always seek to learn new ones. I also play basketball where I learned that individual efforts are not always enough if you are not well surrounded!
I think LINES is the best choice for a teenager to learn a language, do sports and discover new places while having fun. As I have been there so many times, I can say that it is more than a summer camp, it is a life’s experience!

Hi, I was born in the heart of Africa (Burundi). I was the youngest child of a family of 4. I have been married for more than 30 years and I am a father of three.

Hello, my name is Maud. I am responsible of the Booking Department and Customer Service at LINES. I have been working for LINES since 2006. I have a degree in translation and audiovisual translation. I am Belgian and live in Belgium with my companion and 2 children.
I know LINES from both sides as I was a summer student there when I was 17.
My name is Cindel. I am an Educational Psychologist (MSc) and Teacher of English (BEd). For the past six summers I have worked for LINES in Downe House. I have been a teacher, a Senior teacher, and an Academic Assistant.
Because of my background as an educational psychologist I have taught students with learning disabilities and I have given workshops at LINES to improve the lesson quality for all students. To help students gain psychological, social, management and entrepreneurial skills I have set up a Skills program for LINES. This program’s aim is to give LINES’ students knowledge about and practice these skills in a safe environment guided by professionals.
