Supporting Language & Educational Training Worldwide

The Suzanne Furstner Foundation was set up in memory of our much-loved friend and colleague, Suzanne, who we tragically lost in a road accident in Spain on 22nd May 2006.

Suzanne worked at Cactus for four years and, as Head of Cactus TEFL, was responsible for setting the Cactus TEFL wheels in motion from the very start. Through her devotion, hard work and tireless enthusiasm, Suzanne took our fledgling TEFL product and helped to turn it into the sophisticated, internationally-recognised success that it is today. She made friends and contacts - often by speaking one of her many languages - with teacher training schools across the world, making a long-lasting impression on all those she met with her energy and passion.

It is in her honour and memory that we dedicate the Suzanne Furstner Foundation, a project supporting language and educational training across the world, a subject close to her heart.

We are pleased to confirm Tatty Scott as the winner of the 2009 Suzanne Furstner Scholarship.
