About Me

I am an accomplished English language educator with more than 30 years of international teaching, training, and leadership experience across the United Kingdom, China, and online learning environments.

I specialize in IELTS, TOEFL, PET, Business English, and professional communication, and I have a strong record of helping learners achieve high outcomes, including IELTS Band 8.5 and above.

My background includes university lecturing, corporate language training, curriculum development, and teacher leadership, with experience supporting both children and adults in academic and professional settings.

I have worked extensively in English for Academic Purposes, academic writing, research support, presentations, and international student integration, helping learners build confidence and achieve their goals.

I also bring significant experience in designing learning materials, mentoring teaching teams, and creating effective training systems for classroom and online delivery.

I am available for online and in-person instruction and remain committed to helping learners improve their English for study, work, and international communication.
