LICENSEE OF THE YEAR...ANNA VASCO!!!

Anna Vasco was announced as Licensee of the Year for The Midlands and The North.

Anna has an extremely successful business teaching French, in and around Nottingham, to just over 100 course pupils each week - without the help of tutors!!!

Anna is an extremely deserving winner, not only is her enthusiasm for teaching languages obvious, she is extremely professional in her approach and a great all-round licensee with an outstanding skill set. Anna has an excellent manner with her pupils and teaching fun lessons whilst maintaining exceptional behaviour and progressing the children through the work.

Anna's Area Support Advisor Bethan Thompson, commented "Anna has a superb business acumen and is aware of needing to constantly maintain her numbers as well as increasing them through marketing. Anna is clearly well-liked by her pupils and school staff alike. She is an excellent demonstration of a fantastic licensee who I would have thought had been teaching La Jolie Ronde for about 10 years, when in fact it's only 3"

Many congratulations Anna, we are extremely proud of you and what you have achieved in such a short space of time.
