edit data

I've been working in English Language Teaching full-time since I graduated in 2008, first as a teacher, then as a Director of Studies, teacher trainer and materials writer. I'm now a freelance trainer, writer and ELT consultant. My work has taken me all over the world, and has enabled me to meet hundreds of fascinating people. I'm now trying to share my experience by writing affordable e-books designed to help teachers develop professionally. These include Richer Speaking and the ELT Playbook series, which you can find at http://eltplaybook.wordpress.com.
