I have worked for Oxford International for 18 years and done a variety of roles from Director of Studies, Course Director for the Trinity Cert TESOL, Tutor on the Trinity Diploma and ELLT examiner. I have enjoyed being in a growing company and appreciate having new opportunities because of this culture. In 2020 I helped move the Trinity Cert TESOL online. This has been lots of fun and highly successful. It makes a lot of sense in our industry nowadays to be logging in and training people all over the world including Indonesia, Burundi, Pakistan, Macau, Iran to name but a few.

I started teacher training in 2014 running the Unknown Language component and supporting all the trainees with the practical teaching on the Trinity CertTESOL. Later I contributed to delivering the input sessions with my main interest always being in Teaching Young Learners, incorporating phonology into lessons, and working with emergent language. Currently, I support the Trinity DipTESOL candidates daily, and provide guidance on the Unit 4 Teaching Practice assessment.
