I am an English language teacher, teacher trainer, academic director, ELT author and public speaker, and I am passionately committed to the role that teacher development plays in advancing teaching and learning.

​

I offer teacher training to schools, institutes and universities on a wide variety of topics ranging from the in-class application of Second Language Acquisition theories to comprehensive and cohesive classroom management.

 

I offer training in Cambridge teacher development qualifications, such as the Cambridge Delta 1.
