Teaching experience

1995 - 1997

tutor to adult learningHereward College - Coventry, United KingdomAs a college lecturer, I’ve helped learners build the English they need to succeed in studies, careers, and new businesses. My approach is practical and confidence-driven: we focus on real communication: pitches, networking, presentations, and daily conversations... so English feels useful from day one. I use storytelling and real-life scenarios to make lessons engaging, memorable, and relevant to your goals as a professional or entrepreneur.

Education

1992 - 1994

Bachelor’s - Advertising and communicationWolverhampton UniversityMy degree in Advertising & Communication gives me a unique edge as an ESL coach. It allows me to simplify ideas, adapt to audiences, and use storytelling to make English memorable. I bring real-world communication skills into every lesson, helping learners gain confidence for interviews, presentations, and workplace success. With strong intercultural awareness, I ensure students don’t just learn English, but use it naturally and effectively in daily life.
