Support and guidance from a highly experienced, friendly teacher to make great learning decisions.

I have been teaching for over 16 years and still think it is the best job in the world. I make my classes fun, creative and communicative no matter how old the student. The best way to learn is to enjoy it! As a practitioner of post-method pedagogy, I adapt my teaching practice to the needs of the learners, keeping them engaged and helping them achieve their best.

I started as a teacher of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) to adults in the UK for 7 years before coming to Hong Kong where I have taught in the local school system as a NET as well as in tutorial centres.

I have a proven track record in teaching ESOL, English (as a first language) and History, providing in-person and online training and encouragement to improve student self-confidence, study habits and time management. I have helped students achieve greater academic success and independent learning among students through effective learning techniques which led to 100% students scoring either grade 9 or 8 at GCSE; A at A Level and 90% students offered a place at the school of their choice.
