“Ana Lorite came to the London School of Puppetry in 2014 to investigate the use of puppetry in language education for children. She was thorough and produced outstanding work for her MA. Out of her MA research she produced a lecture for an international group of teachers at the annual APET (the Art of Puppetry in Education and Therapy) symposium at the LSP in 2015. Ana Lorite is able to offer creative solutions to language learning and she will always be welcomed as a teacher at LSP. “
