Manuel Benchetrit

Having grown up in the Loire Valley with an unpronounceable Moroccan surname, Manuel has always been drawn to cultures and the connections they create. This led him to develop schools and design curricula for the French Foreign Office across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. More recently, as Director of Young Learners at International House London, he laid the strategic groundwork for the repositioning of its offering. He is trained in business administration and also a graduate of the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Language Pedagogy and Cultural Diplomacy, with additional experience in sales and even urban photography. He brings this diverse background to support EP's strategic goals and help young learners navigate technological and cultural challenges through language-powered life skills and global awareness. Away from work, he enjoys bikepacking, sailing, London jazz gigs, and good food with friends.
