The lovely Lizzie is one part of our Purple Team here at Vibe. Lizzie is originally from central west NSW, Australia where she studied a Bachelor in Primary Education and a Masters in Special and Inclusive Education. Lizzie taught in Sydney for 6 years before she came over to London almost a year ago. You will often find Lizzie at a sporting event…most likely the rugby but also anything else where Australia is playing!
Tell us about your story with Vibe
I came over to London almost a year ago now and taught as a supply teacher for 3 months in Vibe’s wonderful SEN schools. I gained so much valuable experience before I moved to work in the Vibe office at the beginning of this school year supporting firstly our SEN schools and now our primary schools.

What’s your favourite area in London? Why?
Wimbledon – South West is best! The atmosphere around the tennis tournament is incredible, but the buzz around the village and the common is there all year round.
