I am a qualified English teacher living in Hong Kong since 2005. I mostly focus on technical language training for airline and airport staff, but I also have experience in business, law, finance, and academic English, for example ICAO, IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL, LPAT, DSE.

I have more than 20 years of experience in English language training. I am committed to providing the best support possible for English learners to achieve the levels of English proficiency they need to not just pass tests, but actually do their job more efficiently.

In addition to helping learners with test preparation, I have also developed language tests used by Cathay Pacific Airways and Airport Authority Hong Kong. I am the published author of four textbooks on aeronautical engineering.

I am a graduate of the School of Oriental and African Studies (University of London) and BPP Law School, and I have a Trinity Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Trinity Cert TESOL). Read less
