About
I'm a qualified TEFL teacher. I have over 20 years experience successfully helping friends, family and students to improve their English. I'm patient and friendly with a desire to other to improve my students’ spoken and written English.
I was born in the heart of London, England in 1963 at the City of London Hospital (AKA The Royal Hospital). I was educated in the suburbs of London and attended one of the best grammar schools in London, St Joseph's College. Beulah Hill London SE19.
After leaving school I spent a short career in the city followed by a long career in the travel and entertainment industries. In recent years I have been teaching English language and culture to speakers of other languages in both here in the UK and abroad. As enthusiastic amateur and professional.
I have travel around the world and experienced many cultures as an independent traveller. This has helped me in creating a good empathy with my students and work colleges.

I was teaching and being trained using the Callan method method of teaching English. The Callan Method is a fast and effective system for the study of English by non-native speakers and was invented to make students as involved as possible in the learning process, and at the same time to help them to make the best possible use of their time. The Method is a rigorously structured programme of instruction, divided into twelve stages.
