I moved to Switzerland in 2000 where I continued my ELT career. 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.

My ELT professional and personal interests lie in effective and affective ELT approaches. 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. The aim is to create a thriving, inspirational community which unites teachers and teacher educators in the cantons of Switzerland.

As a presenter I regularly give workshops, talks and seminars both at national and international events, presenting regularly at IATEFL.
