Professional development and resources
for language teachers

What I do ...

BLOG

I have started to write and publish my blog during the Pandemic in October 2020 using the Blogger platform. All of my previous posts have been transferred to this site.

Writing my blog helps me to reflect on my own practice and develop myself as a teacher.

I enjoy creating resources for my own students and I have started to share them freely with colleagues during the Pandemic with the hope they will be useful to the teaching community during such difficult times.

Since then I have continued creating new content.

CPD FOR TEACHERS & SCHOOLS

I love delivering CPD - especially, subject specific and supporting language teachers, departments and schools.

You can access the CPD programme and topics that I can offer and tailor to your specific context in this section.
