TSI was founded and is directed by Maurice Duffy and Sally Lee. Both are passionate about skiing and teaching. They feel privileged to be able to do so in the spectacular French Alps. Between them they have taught for over 25 winter seasons, in Switzerland, Scotland, Andorra, France, Australia and New Zealand. Maurice, Sally and Lisa are all International Ski Teacher Diploma’s with full French Equivalence.

Maurice Duffy was born in Scotland and learned to ski at the age of seven when his family moved to the Jura Mountains in France.  After returning to The UK he finished his education, and like many British kids decided he was going to become a Ski Instructor. He did initial instructor training in Austria at the age of 18, and has taught skiing full time in Europe and the southern hemisphere ever since.  He became a fully qualified International Ski Teacher in 1997, and moved to Morzine in 2000.  He is a certified CSCF Ski Race Coach and a Current Trainer (of alpine and telemark) for the British Association of Snowsports Instructors (BASI). When not skiing he enjoys mountain biking, motorbikes, kiting and wakeboarding.

Sally Lee is Irish born but has lived most of her life in Spain where her parents moved when she was 9. She first discovered skiing in the Pyrenees and was hooked from the start. She did her first full season when she was 19 and made up her mind to become a ski teacher.  To complement the winter seasons in Andorra she worked during the summers as a restaurant manageress in Spain, then moved to Morzine in 2000.  Besides the “hands on” side of ski teaching she has worked in the office environment for several ski schools and for the British Association of Snowsports Instructors (BASI). Most summers she now works as an events co-coordinator in UK. Her hobbies are cycling, reading and listening to music.
Additional Qualifications: IASI Level 4.
