I empower people to communicate clearly. Breaking down the complexities of research papers, creating authentic speaking opportunities, and collaborating with content experts to ensure curriculum is relevant to to life outside the classroom is a day's work. I love planning and scaffolding, designing evaluations, and delivering innovative and effective lessons. In fact, I encourage everyone to try it – take my TESL Training Course through Oxford Seminars to see what it’s like to be on the other side of the podium!I am also an obsessive wordsmith and have recently started my own business: Lines Refined. I can spend many happy hours chiselling away at a single sentence. Refining the work of content experts so that their genius can shine is deeply satisfying. In working on a new textbook series with Cambridge UP, I had the opportunity to create grammar and vocabulary worksheets – what joy to have so many passions coalesce in a single project! When I’m not immersed in reading and writing, I’m on the move. I love travelling and exploring new places by kayaking, hiking, or diving.Specialties: teaching, copy writing, editing, ESL, teacher training, grammar
