I am a British native English speaker and a professional educator. 

I know that many folks who have learned English to an Intermediate or Advanced level struggle with knowing how to improve.

Just learning more English doesn’t help! 

You need to learn how to USE your English well.

I feel lucky to be able to help people communicate more freely and enjoy reaching a higher level of English than they thought possible.

I am dual qualified as an EAL (English as an Additional Language) teacher and also am qualified to teach English to native English speakers in secondary schools here in the U.K.  

For more than two decades, I have taught both children and adults in England, Scotland, Canada, Ghana and Brazil and also been a U.B.C Faculty of Education guest lecturer on the topic of the role of emotional intelligence in learning. 

I have also had experience in entrepreneurship in the last twenty years through running side businesses. As a digital marketing and proofreading freelancer, I have worked with many international corporate clients on a variety of projects from website copy writing, to proofreading legal documents, to book editing. I ran an Airbnb business in two different countries (Canada and Brazil) and was co-owner in a Canadian events management business that created well-being and spiritual events such as the annual Spirit Plant Medicine Conference at the University of British Columbia. 

If you feel like you are hiding and hesitating when you would like to speak up, then I would love to help you use your English with more confidence and clarity.
