I am CELTA (Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching for Adults) CELTYL (Cambridge Certificate in Language Teaching for Young Learners) and International House Certificate in Teaching Young Learners qualified as well as being an APPI (Associação Portuguesa de Professores de Inglês) accredited Teacher Trainer and previously an approved IELTS examiner.

I worked at British Council in Lisbon, Portugal for 17 years where I taught very young children, teenagers and adults. I have taught learners from 7 years old to 70. I have experience in all aspects of language teaching including exam preparation. I have also presented at various English Language Teaching Conferences on a variety of topics. I have also written and delivered Teacher Training courses for APPI (Associação Portuguesa de Professores de Inglês) - http://www.appi.pt/

With my experience and qualifications, I am easily able to draw up individually tailored English language / Teacher Training programmes for individuals and groups to suit a wide range of needs and contexts.

I look forward to working with you.
