About Me

As a native English speaker with experience of English language teaching, I have passed the intensive CELTA course at International House London. I have worked extensively with PhD students to improve their public speaking, and proofread their research papers. Previously my career was based in retail, and while in the industry I focused myself heavily on the training, recruitment, and people management aspects available.
