I’m Catriona from Ireland and I have been living in Italy for almost 23 years. I live in the countryside, in Fara Sabina, with my husband and our two children.

Teaching is my life’s passion and I have taught in three other International English schools in Rome over the last 21 years.

I started my educational studies with the ‘Montessori Centre International’ in London and completed a distance certificate course in ‘Teaching English as an Additional Language’ for children (TEAL). Following this I enrolled with the Open University and obtained a First- Class honours degree in Early Years.

I always aim to provide a secure and stimulating environment for my students and love seeing them develop and grow as individuals. I’m very pleased to join the Northlands team and guide my new class in this exciting part of their early learning journey.
