As an experienced Cambridge oral examiner and teacher of the English language, I consider myself to have both excellent communication skills and the ability to apply my teaching to a wide range of levels. I am an enthusiastic and confident teacher with a friendly manner; offering help and encouragement (and constructive criticism where necessary!). I enjoy meeting people from other cultures and am interested in helping EFL students to become more proficient in the language. My experience of teaching all ages means I can easily relate to both adults and young people alike.

I graduated from Manchester University (UK) with a BA (hons) in Economic & Social Studies. I also hold a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education), a higher education course which qualifies me to teach.

I am a British teacher with over 30 years of experience teaching English as a foreign language. I have also been involved in examination supervision and coordination, examination preparation and marking, as well as writing material for classroom use. I am an experienced oral examiner, having worked for the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (now Cambridge English Language Assessment) over a period of 28 years. I have been trained to examine candidates for all levels of the Cambridge examinations (YLE, KEY, PET, FCE, CAE, CPE & IELTS) and have also been employed by the PanHellenic Association of Language Schools Owners as an oral examiner for local exams. I am therefore experienced at assessing students' level of English and provide in depth training for the GBC test (Japan). I also have experience of teaching Business English from beginner to advanced levels. I hold a BA (hons) Economics & Social Studies degree and gained a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE teaching qualification) from Manchester University, England. I am a mYngle certified Blended Learning trainer.
