I am a private English as a Foreign Language tutor, teacher trainer and volunteer, usually operating in Norwich. I currently work for Adult Learning (Norfolk County Council) as a non-accredited tutor, training both colleagues and learners how to use technologies needed for online learning. In the summer of 2020, I worked for the English Language Teaching Centre at the University of Sheffield, teaching on a fully online pre-sessional course using Blackboard (Collaborate). For two summers (2017-18), I taught at INTO UEA on their pre-sessional programme and was an IELTS invigilator from 2017-2020. I was, for three years, part of the IATEFL Learning Technologies Special Interest Group committee, firstly as newsletter editor, then webmaster (April 2018-Dec 2020). I have a CELTA from NILE (2009) and an MA in English Language Teaching from Warwick (2012). I have previously volunteered in Tanzania and been employed in South Korea, China, Vietnam and Saudi Arabia. I have also worked in Cambridge on summer young learner residential courses (2009-11). I have specific interests in the areas of teacher and learner autonomy, learning technologies, English for Academic Purposes (EAP), filmmaking, making instructional screencast videos and content creation. I have also volunteered with refugees in Norwich and taught on three English for Driving Theory courses (2018-20).
