Mrs Dougan

 I did a French degree at University because I loved languages, I also spent a year in Lyon as part of degree. When I left university I worked for a year as a homecare assistant, looking after the elderly and disabled people before deciding upon my career path. I loved working with people, and did't want to leave languages behind. I decided to become a languages teacher and I've never looked back! I can honestly say that whilst working at The Hollins, I have taught some of the most motivated and enthusiastic children of my career.

I have always been fascinated by languages so I studied both French and Spanish from an early age.  After doing a language degree and experiencing teaching English in both France and Spain, I decided to teach languages. I wanted to help young people discover how important and fun languages are. When I finished training I was lucky enough to start at the Hollins, teaching French and Spanish to all year groups. Since being here I have worked with some of the best teachers and have the pleasure of teaching our excellent pupils.

 I loved languages throughout school so decided to study French and German at Nottingham University. Whilst at University, I spent a year abroad living in both Germany and France which was such a rewarding experience. Since graduating, I have spent time living in Sweden. I also spent a year working at a language school in Manchester teaching English as a foreign language to people from all over the world. I have been teaching French at The Hollins since September (2009) as part of my Graduate Training Programme and I really enjoy the community spirit and lively atmosphere.
