Jenny

I am a Celta and PGCE MFL qualified teacher with experience working in a wide variety of contexts from YL to adults, both one-to-one and groups. During my teaching career I have been regularly praised for my ability to engage and inspire learners through inventive deployment of resources and this success is testified by the results achieved by my students.
I have a deep passion for language and also for developing skills in other. My management experience at a music exam board has further developed my business specific capabilities in English Language teaching, while training and supervising multicultural colleagues has helped me to communicate with all types of language backgrounds. These skills, along with my detailed understanding of the technical aspects of language learning, have equipped me with a broad knowledge and a passion for the job.
