Hi, my name is Yvonne and I'm from Germany. I came to Dubai a year and a half ago, having previously spent 10 years working in an advertising company in Germany. You may have seen me at our other TCG branch in the Green Community where I worked both as a Teacher Assistant and as part of the Admin Team. I'm delighted now to be based here at the Front Desk in Jumeira, handling admissions. This means that when you phone TCG Jumeira it will probably be me that you speak to - so be polite! In my free time, I love to get out into the desert with friends.

My name is Eva Spiess and my nationality is German-Spanish.  I have two children who are now 15 and 12 years old.  This is my second time in Dubai, and altogether I have been here for six years. I lived and worked in Germany and Spain too. I have a university degree in Economics and I will be working at the Front Desk being part of the Admin Team, to handle all your daily issues regarding the school routine. I'm a big supporter of the bilingual system; to speak several languages enriches your life in a fantastic way.

 

Hello everybody, I'm Zee.  Born in Dubai and brought up in England and Saudi Arabia, I'm British but have spent much of my life overseas. With a BA in English Literature, an MA in Sociology and having written Footprint's guide to Dubai, my career has always revolved around my passion for words and communication. I've worked as a journalist, headed up marketing teams in England and Dubai, and enjoyed speech writing and freelancing for a wide variety of institutions.  I was a founding member of Taaleem, TCG's parent company, in 2004, and have been focusing exclusively on TCG since 2007. My time at TCG has sparked an abiding interest in neurology, specifically the positive impact that a proper understanding of brain development can have in classrooms. Another thing my time at TCG has impressed upon me is the extraordinary scope for both learning and laughter to be had from working with such a fabulously varied and multicultural crowd of teachers and little people.

Currently, I’m doing a distance learning course for a Diploma in Financial Management. When not at work, my hobbies include listening to music, playing badminton, tracking financial indexes and commodities and I like playing with children, too.
