Julie Ciobanu
Year 3 Class Teacher
Julie gained a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and followed it up with a TEFL certificate and PGCE at the University of East London.
Previous to this, Julie worked as a volunteer in Washington DC, in the world's biggest homeless shelter, then taught English in Romania to students of all ages. Before becoming a teacher, Julie worked helping children with special needs and cared for the elderly in hospitals and nursing homes. Throughout all these jobs and experiences, Julie learned to understand the variety of people of different abilities and ages, which ultimately, taught her to grasp life and cherish living. Julie has been now teaching for over 20 years 2000, from Reception to Year 6 and she enjoys being a Year 3 Class Teacher at CIS. She is excited to embrace project-based learning and further explore Slovakia at every opportunity.
When she is not teaching, Julie enjoys travelling, skiing, and cycling with her husband and two children and doing anything creative/arty.
