I have been an English teacher & trainer for 40+ years. I have a Master of Applied Linguistics (TESOL) from Macquarie University, Australia and a Dip RSA/Delta.  I have taught on most continents and enjoys learning from her learners and teachers alike; I now work as an independent teacher trainer travelling internationally. My particular interests include engaging teachers to be more enthusiastic about using Cuisenaire Rods, helping teachers understand creative & different ways of introducing Lexis & Grammar, balancing coursebooks with authentic materials, Task-Based Learning Teaching and finding ways to enthuse teachers to lose their fear of teaching pronunciation.

I am an English language teacher, CELTA trainer and crazy cat lady based in Queensland, Australia.  I have worked across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Australia and Europe, bringing my dynamic and quirky classroom style to an international cohort of unsuspecting students and trainees. I will deploy whatever works and engages to set a context and clarify a language point, from undignified ham acting, to a video grab, to traditional grammar analysis.  I urge all students to read widely and critically to expand both their language awareness and their minds, and encourages new teachers to focus on identifying and conveying the core and implicit meanings in language items.  I see English as a tool for expression and knowledge acquisition, and favours low-tech teaching methods suitable for any environment.  I have extensive experience in academic English and university preparation, exam courses and teaching general English at all levels.
