    Profil (in Englisch)

Having realised there was still so much to learn, I decided to pursue a BA (Hons) and then a MEd in ELT from the University of Manchester. I have taught in many different contexts (primary, secondary, tertiary and private sectors) and courses including GE, BE, ESP, YL and the whole suite of Cambridge Exams prior to becoming a teacher trainer and educator at the FHNW.

Particularly, I am interested in methodologies and approaches that embrace a more creative approach to language teaching and learning. I am also co-ordinator for ETAS’ (English Teacher's Association Switzerland) Swiss Cantonal Teacher & Teacher Educator SIG.
