I help English language teachers refine their skills and adult professionals gain the confidence to succeed in the workplace
With nearly 25 years of experience, I help English language teachers refine their skills and adult professionals gain the confidence to succeed in the workplace. My approach is rooted in a learning-centered teaching philosophy, ensuring every lesson is personalized and focused on your individual needs and goals.
I'm an advocate of Dogme ELT (Teaching Unplugged) and other deep-end approaches such as TBLT (Task-based Language Teaching), but I have an open mind and also design training around my clients' wants, interests, and needs.
What I offer
I provide personalized coaching and professional training to help you achieve your goals in English. My services are designed for two key groups:
For Adult Professionals
Achieve your career goals with 1:1 English language training and coaching. I help you build the confidence and skills needed for presentations, business meetings, and professional communication.
For Teachers and Educators
Elevate your teaching career with expert training, coaching, and course design. Whether you need to master new teaching methods or develop a custom curriculum, I provide the tools and support you need to succeed.
Speaking & Media
I am also available for webinar presentations and podcast appearances. I share my expertise on topics like professional English communication, modern teaching methodologies, and career development for language educators.
