What I do ...
I first launched my blog in October 2020, during the pandemic as a way to connect, reflect and grow professionally. What began on the Blogger platform has now evolved into this dedicated space, where all my previous posts have been carefully transferred and curated.
​
This blog is more than just a collection of ideas; it's where I reflect on my own teaching practice, share insights and explore new approaches to language education. It's a space for ongoing professional development and I hope it inspires yours too.
I’m passionate about delivering high-quality CPD - especially when it’s subject-specific and designed to support language teachers, departments and whole-school language provision.
​
In this section, you’ll find an overview of the CPD programmes and topics I offer, all of which can be tailored to suit your specific context and priorities.
Creating engaging, effective resources for my own students has always been a part of my practice and during the pandemic, I began sharing these freely with colleagues to support the wider teaching community in challenging times.
​
What started as a gesture of support has grown into an ongoing commitment. I continue to create and share new content, designed to be practical, purposeful and rooted in classroom experience.
