My Background
I have a First Degree in English Literature and Language, a Distinction in Teacher Training and an Above Average CELTA qualification. I have taught English for well over ten years in a variety of different schools and have prepared students for English exams at secondary schools, language institutions and in further education with high pass results.
As well as being classroom based, I really enjoy teaching online as this is a great way for students to have that extra, individual level of attention and support which is often missing in the classroom.
I have always been passionate about the English language, I’m lucky to be able to ‘do what I love’. More importantly to me, I find it incredibly rewarding to give others the language tools they need in order to open doors to other possibilities be it for professional or personal reasons.
Before my life as a teacher, I worked in the London corporate hospitality industry and for TIME Magazine whilst also raising two children who are now independent, thriving, young adults.
