London
Over the course of an eighteen-year career in the English Language teaching
world, I have developed a style and understanding which allows me to engage
learners of all levels, styles and needs and across all age ranges. Working in
both multilingual and monolingual environments in a number of countries has
given me a broad spectrum of experience to draw upon when trying to understand
the requirements of a learner and also the difficulties they experience during
their English Language journey. More recently, I have worked in product design,
development and delivery. Starting from the ground level of conception based on
the needs of a specific course or group allows you to see how content must fit
both the learners involved and the end result required. It has also given me the
unique opportunity to deliver the course and continue to make adjustments to
provide the students with the best possible experience and outcome. A number of
these products also have London as a focal point. This has meant integrating the
city into the language learning. After years spent living and working in the
capital and visiting many of its sights, using London as a source of the lessons
and the activities has given me an even greater understanding of the capital and
the wonders it possesses.
