About Me
I am unique in that I believe in all my students abilities.

I have been living in Italy for the last four years, three in Rome and one in Taranto so can also speak Italian if it helps. Before that I was based in Austria, where I qualified.

I love travelling and getting to know different cultures. I have lived and worked in over 50 countries and I want to hear your stories as much as mine.

I specialise in teaching for Cambridge exams but can also help with general communication.

In my free time, I like to play and watch football. I support my local team, Stockport County.

My lessons are relaxed and I like to play games and do activites through communication.

I am a professional, TEFL and CELTA qualified ESOL teacher with 15 years experience in a wide range of teaching situations, working in Shenzhen, China for over two years (2011 – 2013), and then in Manchester, UK until now.

My particular expertise is providing preparatory tuition and support to candidates taking IELTS, OET (Occupational English Test) or Cambridge ESOL exams (eg. B2 First). However, I also have extensive experience in teaching all aspects of general and business English to all levels and ages.

Previous roles include working for a large, UK recruitment company where I provided online tuition, mentoring and assessment to groups of nurses in India and the Philippines and later, also Spain and Italy. I was a team member charged with facilitating these candidates’ success in IELTS (and later OET), in which they were required to achieve a minimum band score of 7 in all four sub-tests. This was essential to qualify them to work in the UK’s NHS. The process consisted of a busy weekly programme of scheduled one-to-one Skype sessions (up to 50 candidates per week) and a series of scheduled, 1-2 hour group webinars with up to 100 attendees, for which I personally produced many Power Point Presentations.

I gained further remote work experience during the Covid lock-down periods, teaching groups and individuals through online platforms such as Learn Cube, Zoom, Voov (Chinese), Skype and Teams.

I believe my lengthy and broad experience in English language teaching and related freelance services has equipped me with all relevant skills, experience and resources to help you succeed.
