Our team

The perfect way to make a difference

Angela Taylor Founder, Education Consultant

Angela Taylor

Founder and owner

I worked in a variety of sectors before finding my way to international education. I spent over two decades in the TV, public relations, and music industries and for more than 18 of those years, I was in television programme acquisitions. This meant working for a range of renowned channels such as Discovery, Living, Travel Channel and Teachers TV.

I loved what I was doing, especially helping to choose educational content for Teachers TV but I felt the overwhelming desire to make a bigger difference in people’s lives. My role involved sourcing and evaluating the documentary content for both Travel and Teachers TV channels and this knowledge and experience led me to make the choice to move into international education, student counselling, and the delivery of training solutions for overseas business clients.

Today I’m proud of the fact that we work with over 95 language schools and more than 80 universities here in the UK. We can also offer study abroad options at many more education and training institutions overseas, in Ireland, Canada, Spain, Australia, and other countries.

I’m equally proud of our track record of helping hundreds of delighted students and clients from around the world to fulfil their ambitions.

Now every heartfelt testimonial from a student or client gives me immense personal satisfaction.

So welcome to Atava – your window onto the world of international education.
