Corrie Albert
Founder & Educational Director
I’ve been teaching for over 25 years, and it’s a career that has taken me around the world. From Singapore and Dubai to Paris and Geneva, I’ve had the pleasure of working with students of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
Over the years, I’ve taught in British, French and international schools, as well as at institutions including the British Council in Paris and Sciences Po. I’ve worked with everyone from young children learning to read to university students and adults developing their professional English.
What I’ve learned along the way is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to education. Some students thrive in traditional classrooms, while others need a different approach, a little more encouragement or simply someone who takes the time to understand how they learn.
As both a teacher and a mother of three children who have grown up internationally, I also understand the challenges families face when navigating different languages, curricula and school systems.
Why Global Learning Companions?
I started Global Learning Companions because I wanted to offer something more personal than traditional tutoring.
For me, good teaching has always been about building relationships, sparking curiosity and helping students develop confidence in their own abilities. Academic results matter, of course, but so do independence, critical thinking and a genuine enjoyment of learning.
Through The Global Learning Companion, I hope to bring together experienced international educators who share this vision and connect them with families looking for thoughtful, individualised support.
Whether your child needs help catching up, preparing for exams or simply finding their confidence again, our goal is to help them feel capable, motivated and proud of what they can achieve.
