Our Professional Team

Our Director of Studies ensures that our students get to experience the highest level of teaching by the best teachers, using the most current teaching materials available.

With a love of getting up in front of a class to teach, or an insatiable need to think "outside the box" to make learning an informative and enjoyable experience for everyone, Vickie’s enthusiasm, and determination to make a difference are what drives her to make Pacific English Study stand out from the rest.

Our immensely popular and hard-working CEO painstakingly oversees the enormous number of behind-the-scenes responsibilities that keep Pacific at the forefront of English language education.  Around the clock, Joanna coordinates between the different teams, and our wonderful agents, to make sure that Pacific English Study runs smoothly all day, every day.

Coupled with her enormous workload, is Joanna’s kind and caring nature which ensures everyone is catered for, and as a result, the school operates perfectly.  Watching Joanna’s ability to multi-task is amazing to watch and makes her a vital part of the Pacific team.
