Anita Michail is a passionate and student-centred language educator who joined The Island Private School in September 2022 as an EAL Teacher and now leads the department as EAL Coordinator. Her work is driven by a deep belief that with the right motivation and support, every learner can thrive — especially in multilingual and international environments. Anita holds a Master’s degree in TESOL from the University of Nottingham, a BA in English Language from the University of Essex, and has a DELTA qualification (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). She also holds a Certificate in Dyslexia and Foreign Language Teaching from the University of Lancaster, adding to her expertise in inclusive education. Before joining the school, Anita built a strong foundation in teaching English across various age groups in Cyprus, preparing students for Cambridge English exams, and creating tailored, communicative, and task-based lesson plans. She has also worked as an Approved Cambridge English Assessment Specialist and held key responsibilities for diversity and creativity in previous roles. As EAL Coordinator, Anita supports students in accessing the curriculum confidently while also working closely with classroom teachers to ensure inclusive and differentiated learning practices. She brings energy, compassion, and structure to her teaching and leadership, helping multilingual learners feel empowered, seen, and supported.

Anita is fluent in English, Greek and brings a truly international outlook, combined with a warm and motivating presence in the classroom and across the school.
