I have been teaching English for 20 years, during which time I have had the opportunity to work and meet students from all around the world. I have taught and travelled in India, South East Asia, Australia, South America, and the UK.

In my English language teaching career, I have held various positions; my most recent was as an Assistant Director of Studies at a small language school in the UK. This involved running all of the academic side of the school, as well as teaching.

Before this, I worked as an English language tutor teaching English for Academic Purposes (EAP) at the prestigious University of Liverpool, one of the Russell Group universities in the UK. This was where I was really able to cut my teeth writing exam materials for the students, which needed to be to a higher-education standard. My role also involved proofreading and marking all the students' essays, dissertations, and academic work on a whole range of topics from fashion to engineering and business.

Prior to working at the University of Liverpool, I worked with British students as a dyslexia support tutor. In this role, I saw students on a one-to-one basis, proofreading and helping them with their coursework as well as providing them with strategies that would help them at college and university.

Currently, I work part time throughout the year as a writing and speaking examiner for Cambridge Assessment. This role requires a high attention to detail, organisation, and planning as I have a large number of scripts to mark to strict marking criteria in line with CEFR English language levels.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, everything has been pushed online, and I have continued to teach English to students around the world as well as begun my proofreading journey at Proofed.
