SAM GRANT: Administrative Assistant / Tutor

Hi, my name’s Sam (short for ‘Samantha’). I first came to Hilderstone College back in 1997 as a summer teacher (while I was teaching in Slovakia), and have worked at many schools since. However, Hilderstone is such a great place to work that I’m really happy to be back here!
After twenty years of teaching, I’m excited to be working in a new job – I am based in the Marketing Department. I help the Head of Marketing with new group enquiries and we deal with our international partners that send many of our students to us. I assist with enrolments and liaise with all the departments – Finance, Academic and Accommodation – to make sure that everything goes smoothly. You will often find me in the Multi Media Learning Centre: this is one of my favourite places in the College because it’s nice and calm at the end of a busy day!

DOMINIC SRIVALSAN: Tutor

Hi – I have been at Hilderstone for nearly four years now, working on all the courses from the teenage groups through to the IELTS classes and Teacher Development courses. I have worked in a number of diverse places around the world including, most recently, five years in universities in the Gulf, which was a fascinating experience. In a previous life I was also a language teacher, this time in a London secondary school.

Although I am a native of London, my base is in Broadstairs which, in addition to having much cleaner air and a beautiful coastline, boasts some unique places such as my two favourites The Chapel pub and The Palace Cinema. I am sure you will discover your own on your stay with us here.
