We are passionate about language teaching. Our team is carefully selected. Our teachers and academic managers are experienced, qualified language experts and are trained to understand the needs of international students. Most importantly, we are all enthusiastic and interested in languages. Most of our team speaks two or three languages fluently.
English Language (EFL) Teacher

Christine joined the teaching team at Lexis in September 2018. She has taught both group classes as well as 1-1 lessons. She has lived in Finchley for over twenty years and as far back as she can remember; she has always wanted to teach. She has spent many years teaching children in primary schools and has successfully completed her CELTA training. Christine loves hearing her students speak in English and she enjoys sharing a laugh with the class. She is a native English and Afrikaans speaker. She is very kind and gentle and is loved by the students. |
Admissions and Accommodation Officer

Elena holds a Linguistics and Languages degree from Birkbeck College London and is trilingual in English, German and Greek. She cofounded Lexis in 2010. She is the Admissions and Accommodation Officer and also helps with student welfare. She is the heart of the school and loves talking to people about how to improve their English. If she had the time she would learn a new language every year. |
English Language (EFL) Teacher

George joined our team in 2018 and has proved very popular with both staff members and students alike. Previously, he taught in Athens, Greece for 15 years. He has a lot of experience in preparing students to take the IELTS and Cambridge B2 First and C1 Advanced exams, a skill which we have put to constant use at Lexis. He has also recently completed and passed a PhD (Teaching English as a Foreign Language to severely disabled adults), so remember to call him Doctor! He speaks English and Greek fluently. |
English Language (EFL) Teacher
Hilary is a recent addition to the Lexis team and has taught both 1-1 and group classes. She has an MA in Creative Writing and has been an Associate Lecturer at The Open University since 2011. One of the things she has impressed us with is her keenness to teach and to help people.
English Language (EFL) Teacher
Sofia is the newest addition to the Lexis team and a born teacher. She has a degree in Education Studies, lived up until recently in Spain and is bilingual in English and Spanish.
She loves dancing and even has certificates in Modern and Jazz Dance graded by the Imperial London College of Dance. Sofia is a keen artist but also enjoys organisation, which makes her a organised creative, if there is such a thing.

Steve is in charge of academic matters at Lexis. He holds a postgraduate MA degree in English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics from Kings College London and has over 20 years’ experience in teaching English in Turkey, Greece, Italy and the UK. He is a native English speaker and also speaks advanced Italian and intermediate German. He is our music guru (ask him anything about music!) and is ‘trying’ to learn to play the guitar in his spare time. He loves to explore new places you never knew existed.
