Elenia Ripalunga

Spanish Teacher

Elenia joined BFS in September 2020. She obtained a degree in Modern Foreign Languages and Literature from the Università degli Studi “G. d’Annunzio” in Italy before completing her PGCE.

Also an accomplished dancer with a diploma in ballet, Elenia enjoys dancing, reading and playing the violin.

When asked about her feelings about education and being a teacher Elenia said “When I was a student, my Philosophy teacher told my class that the law was forcing us to do the best thing we can do in life: to learn. Students sometimes don’t like going to school, but later in life we realise that learning is the best gift that we can get. Learning makes us free.”
