Zoi Garyfallou - Herring
I was born and raised in Lemnos, Greece and I obtained my Bachelor’s (Honours) in “Pre- school Education” and completed my Post- graduate studies in “Socio-cultural and animator's education”, at the Democritus University. I taught in different schools in Greece before I was posted by the Greek DfE to Hamburg, Germany to teach at the Greek schools there. In 2012, I moved to England, had 2 children with my British husband and I have been teaching in a Primary school in Oxford ever since. Having taught for over 20 years, I have a wealth of experience teaching bilingual children of all ages and backgrounds and I am always making sure they have the best opportunities for learning and achieving their potential. As I also have language degrees in English, French and German, I strongly believe that speaking different languages is a great asset and connects people with their heritage and culture.
