Anton Phillips

Anton Phillips believes that education is the greatest adventure. Originally from Sydney, Australia, Anton has spent a lifetime traveling the world with a suitcase full of books and a heart for service. From the classrooms of South Korea and Myanmar to the communities of Rwanda and Peru, his journey has been driven by one goal: helping people find their voice through the English language. Before joining us at YCM, Anton spent 16 years teaching in Brunei Darussalam and worked extensively training teachers for the Cambridge CELTA program. He has taught everyone from adult migrants in Australia to students in vocational colleges, learning along the way that every learner has a unique story to tell.

Ann Rendell

My name is Ann Rendell, and I come from the peaceful seaside town of Port Fairy, Victoria, Australia. I bring over forty years in Marketing & Business Development and as an International Tour Guide. Throughout my career, I have managed companies, led international expeditions, and owned a marketing & advertising consultancy, creating, implementing and successfully bringing strategies to life! Yet beyond titles and projects, what I value most are the people I've met along the way, the connections, the challenges and the shared learning that comes through experiences.
