Overview
My speciality is English Language Teaching - I spent three years teaching English as a Second Language in the UK and overseas (Mexico and Australia). I also have experience with Vocational and UK Schools.
I am confident working with all levels from Kindergarten to Adult, as well as with culturally sensitive material.
I am happy to help you develop your project in any way, including: editorial project management, content development, authoring/mapping digital content, syllabus mapping, copy editing and proofreading.
