Meet Our Highly Qualified Teachers at AVE Academy

At AVE Academy, we believe that exceptional teaching is the foundation of exceptional learning. That’s why every member of our teaching team is highly qualified, holding at minimum a degree in education and specialized certifications in their subject areas.

Our entire faculty consists of native English-speaking teachers, ensuring that students are immersed in authentic, high-quality English every day.

The school is proudly led by Dr. Clare Starobynski, who holds a PhD in Education and brings over 20 years of experience from some of the world’s top international schools. Her leadership sets the tone for excellence, innovation, and care throughout AVE Academy.

Most importantly, our teachers are more than instructors — they are mentors, role models, and guides who are dedicated to helping every child reach their absolute best. Through small class sizes and personalized attention, they nurture not just academic achievement, but also confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.
