Meet our Staff

SUL, a family run language school, was founded by Christopher and Nicole Retallack in 1976. Christopher is from Cornwall in England and Nicole is from France.

There is now a wealth of experience and expertise in our head office team. We all believe in helping our students benefit not only by improving their skills in English, but also by gaining greater self-confidence, a more broad minded approach to life and many new friends from many different countries.
