Aliya Jivraj

Aliya’s passion for learning new languages and cultures led her to complete degrees in French and International Business at the University College London. She then attended the Sorbonne University in Paris for one year. Aliya immediately fell in love with the City of Lights and knew that she would return one day on completion of her studies. After finishing University, Aliya left for Barcelona where she taught English and French for one year. She then moved to Italy to be a tour guide around the Italian Lakes, Venice and Verona. After working with various tour companies and travelling Europe as well as further destinations like South America, Australia, the Far East, Africa and Asia, Aliya moved back to London to work with international schools and educational companies. She is now a true Parisienne after having moved back to France 7 years ago. As GSE Onsite Program Director, Aliya introduces students to the beauty and grandeur of historic Paris, France.
