The School
The English Experience is located in the centre of Norwich near the stunning Norman Cathedral and two minutes from most bus stops. The entire building was refurbished before our move in early 2012. The school has 9 well-equipped light and airy classrooms, a large common area for students, comfortable seating for visiting teachers and leaders and computers with internet access.

Carol Syder
Director

I am the director of The English Experience. I started organising groups of foreign students visiting Norwich for a study holiday course in 1989 and officially founded The English Experience in 1994. The school has gone from strength to strength and we became British Council accredited in 2003. Our market is constantly changing and we are now attracting students from all over the world to Norwich as well as developing our English Camps courses abroad. My enthusiasm for new markets is as great as ever!

Please contact Carol if you wish to make any general enquiry about The English Experience or wish to make a booking enquiry for the Residential Course at Easton College.

I have worked for The English Experience since 2002 as both teacher and manager. I thought I might miss working and travelling abroad, but I find this job fascinating and challenging. I get to meet children and adults from all over the world and also work with teachers with innovative ideas towards EFL teaching. No day is ever the same!

Zofia Fronek
Manager of Overseas Courses | MA Oxon, PGCE.

Having taught for more than 13 years in both EFL and mainstream education in the UK as well as in Hungary and the Czech Republic, I am excited about my role as Manager of Overseas Courses, which I took up early in 2011. I really enjoy the enthusiasm and energy of the many talented staff who work on the summer camps. As an English and drama teacher, it is very rewarding to see the children enjoying learning English in a stimulating and creative environment. It is a very interesting position, which allows me to travel to some beautiful places as well as to work with young people and a great team of staff here at the English Experience.

Please contact Zofia if you are interested in setting up an English Camp in your local school, or wish to work on a camp.
