Education
1985 - 1986
Bachelor’s - LinguisticsThis was at Master's Level, but I completed three months and was awarded the 'Certificate in Linguistics for the Teaching of English' - sufficient for my needs at the time. The attachment also includes shorter courses I attended in later years.
1973 - 1976
Bachelor’s - History of ArtHistory of Western Art - preceded by Theology and Oriental Studies (A Cambridge BA carries Master's Status after two years) First Class Honours
Work Experience
2016 - 2019
Lecturer in EnglishFor three years I had to devise interesting courses for up to 150 students. The main challenge was to counteract unrealistic expectations from almost everybody, and to discover new and exciting methods which took full advantage of the internet.

Martin is an amazing teacher! The time of the class finished so suddenly))) If you want to learn English, have conversational practice, and just spend time enjoying the interesting conversation, don't hesitate to choose Martin as a teacher.
