30 + years experience
I am a British citizen from Bury St Edmunds near Cambridge in England with a neutral speaking accent. For the past 30 years I have been teaching English as a second language and am passionate about aiding students to reach their learning targets. I have taught English in 8 different countries in Europe, The Middle East, North Africa and South East Asia. I have worked face-to-face in classroom settings and online. I have taught every age group and level, exam groups and Business English. I have visited more than 30 countries and worked in private language schools and mainstream education abroad.
My background is in Mental Health and Social Services and my experiences in these areas have been useful in my work as a teacher in several ways but particularly in assisting students to prepare for job interviews and negotiate obstacles they face functioning in work environments where English is the language shared between colleagues from different countries.
I speak two foreign languages one of which I taught myself from scratch. This has given me an understanding of the problems faced by language learners and highlighted effective techniques for overcoming them.
In my online work I have been focusing on helping people to improve their pronunciation and conversational ability in English particularly in relation to the IELTS exam. Apart from teaching my passion is for writing. I hold a CELTA certificate from Cambridge University (1999)
