Since qualifying as a TEFL teacher back
in 1990 I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students of
all ages and from many sectors, in various schools and language institutions in
England, Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands. For the last three years I
have been working as a freelance English language teacher/trainer supporting,
advising, teaching and assisting candidates in their preparation for Cambridge
exams. This has given an extra dimension to my work and has created new
challenges and possibilities in and out of the classroom. Seeing as we are in
an incredibly dynamic and exciting era of learning, I feel very privileged to
be in a position to be able to experience and share the benefits of this with my
learners.
When I am not working you might find me
out with
friends, at the gym or out on my racing bike. I love my bike and the
many adventures we have been on. To be fair these have only been in the
Netherlands up until now and despite having 28 gears on my bike I don’t always
have much opportunity to experiment with them living in such relatively flat
terrain! This is a fantastic place to cycle and cyclists are generally
well-respected on the roads. The infrastructure is excellent, with many
separate cycle paths so it is incredibly easy to cover a lot of distance in a
day – such a wonderful way to discover the country … and particularly if the
sun is out!
