With over 25 years of experience in English Language Teaching (ELT), my career has been dedicated to helping both teachers and learners achieve their goals. I am highly-qualified, with TEFL Q status , (Cambridge DELTA) an MA in Applied Linguistics and ELT, and a Cert IBET, ensuring my approach is backed by deep theoretical knowledge and practical expertise.
My professional journey has given me a wide range of experience, including roles as:
Director of Studies
Teacher Trainer and Course Director (Trinity CertTESOL)
EAP Tutor at UK Universities
International ESOL examiner
Materials Designer
Business English Trainer and Coach.
When I'm not helping others with their teaching or language learning goals, you can find me enjoying a run or trying (unsuccessfully!) to play the ukulele.
