Konrad Radlak
Project Co-ordinador and Senior Teacher
I started my adventure with North West Academy as a client, as I liked both the atmosphere of the school and the work carried out by a highly professional team, I decided to move to Derry and to become a part of the team. Luckily, they agreed to have me here! My job provides me with a lot of opportunities to meet new people from different countries, which I really enjoy. It is never boring here and I feel very privileged to be a member of NWA’s staff.
