Peak Language School was set up in 2012 by native British Modern Languages Teacher, Carly Beaton. After studying German at Royal Holloway, University of London, Spanish at the University of Dundee, Scotland, and completing her teacher training at St Mary’s University, London, Carly embarked on a very successful teaching career in both England and Scotland.

Alongside teaching German and Spanish, Carly also holds a TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) certificate from the University of British Columbia and worked in Innsbruck, Austria, teaching English as a Foreign Language. Carly holds teaching licenses for England, Scotland and British Columbia, Canada.

The success of Peak Language School is down to the variety of clients that we have worked with over the years, their commitment to the company, their enthusiasm and their referrals. We have worked with clients all over the world and from all different backgrounds: clients who are hedge fund managers, accountants, IT and business consultants, EU interpreters, auditors, doctors, SCRUM Masters, teachers and university and school students.
