I was required to attend a 20 hour workshop and complete the remaining 120 hour course online which was completed in September 2016. This qualifies me to teach English as a foreign/second language to students who live in and outside of the United Kingdom.

Additionally, I was also employed to teach Cambridge Young Learner students (Starters, Movers and Flyers), as well as teaching Business English to employees of a globally reputable car headlamp manufacturer, as well as IELTS preparations.

I have worked for English Summer. a highly reputable and established summer camp since 1980, since 2018 with a 5 hiatus in between owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. Over my 3 years of service I have prepared candidates for the official Cambridge examination in under 3 weeks (intensive course) achieving a very high pass rate & most recently (2024) I was promoted to camp coordinator for the 2P 3 week teenager camp and have been again this year (2025) for 2P and 3P (5 weeks).

I teach online for Art of Learning International, working with students of all ages and backgrounds. My focus is on exam preparation and business English, but what makes my sessions unique is the subtle integration of coaching. I help learners build not just academic skills, but also the mindset and confidence to grow beyond the classroom.
