Hannah Mitchell

Hannah graduated with a BA Honours in Business and French from Newcastle University in 2007. After further study at Troyes Business School in France, Hannah began her working life in Paris, where she lived for ten years before moving to Sydney. She has over twelve years of experience in learning & development, accountancy and management and is now using her skills and experience to give teenagers the capabilities, opportunities and inspiration to create a life of their choosing. With her varied, cosmopolitan background Hannah knows a lot of the ‘real-word’ situations young adults are likely to be faced with.

Hannah became associated with IRL Education during her research into learning and development programs in Australia. Having now established IRL Education in the UK and, with her roots proudly in Fife, Hannah is thrilled to be able to share her international perspective in her home country of Scotland, where she is now based. 

Hannah’s other activities include yoga, tennis, wild swimming, mountain biking, trail running, teaching French and being a wedding celebrant. Hannah is a real ‘people person’ and understands how building confidence and resilience in someone’s teenage years can set them up for a happy and successful life.
