Based in East Sussex, UK, I have a passion for three main areas: communication, languages, and technology. My extensive qualifications include a First degree in Slavic Philology & Linguistics and a Cambridge CELTA. With 30 years of teaching experience, I have taught languages at various levels including secondary school, further education, university, and to private and corporate clients.
I have had the privilege of working with renowned organisations such as International Committee of the Red Cross, Home Language International, National Opera Studio, and Glyndebourne Opera House, where I taught English and Russian languages. Since 2000, I have been offering private and corporate language coaching services.
In addition to my language teaching background, I am a professional web designer and the founder of Artist Digital, a UK-based digital communication agency. My teaching resources are designed with my expertise in intercultural communication and learner perception in mind. Being a business owner myself, I have a unique understanding of the key English language skills essential for success in various professional fields in the UK.
Whether you’re looking for digital teaching resources or one-on-one language coaching, I am committed to finding the best approach to meet your needs as my client or student. I look forward to working with you.
