DAGMAR DV 2009-2018

Many people wonder where I've come from

It's like I just fell out of the blue in the UK in December 2017.

What is my background? What did I use to do?

Well, this month I'd just like to share a bit more about me and my journey to becoming an EFL teacher, teacher educator and edupreneur. It would be nice to know a bit better who you're working with, wouldn't it?

I started teaching long before opening my first language school. However, I was so focused on my studies and becoming a translator, that I almost missed the opportunity that was going to define my whole personal and professional life.

But I've officially been a teacher for as long as I have been an entrepreneur, really. I'm not going to tell you today about my struggles to learn business from scratch (

that's for another day), but I'm going to share with you an ad I used to have for my first business, my first language school back in Romania.

DAGMAR D.V. was a language and music school in Craiova, Romania. It officially opened in March 2009 and closed in May 2018 when I decided to start all over again in the UK. We specialised in teaching both children and adults. In 2014-2015, my team had 24 teachers

I got the chance to work with some of the most well prepared and passionate teachers and admin staff members, and grew so much as a teacher and business woman. We got to teach for Ford, Nitela, Pirelli, Hella, Sintec Media, Electroputere Craiova, Electroputere Mall and many more. We were chosen as partners by many schools in the country through Leonardo DaVinci projects and by the University of Craiova to train their students. We were featured on the national and local televisions, and in many newspapers.

Here is a sneak peak at what it used to be. This ad is from 2016 (7 years of DAGMAR D.V.)
