Experience |
My passion for equality through Education is evident in the work I create and the projects I support.
What sets me apart from other Consultants is the desire to raise access to education globally through various formats, not only from face to face training, but delivering training via Zoom, developing accessible SMS courses or authoring culturally appropriate text books. This interest is continued through short term training and development projects overseas, mainly in Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa. I regularly work for Cambridge University Press, the British Council, ELT Consultants and independent and government organisations. |
