<p>I was born in Northern Ireland but I am a bit of a nomad, living in various parts of Scotland and England for many years before settling in France in 2009.</p> <p>I started my career in public relations and marketing, then moved to teaching English Language and Literature in state and private secondary schools. I liked finding out what strategies and tools helped students learn and enjoy learning. This quest led me to obtain Advanced Skills Teacher status so that I could work with other teachers to bring a range of dynamic teaching and learning methods into the classroom.</p> <p>When I moved to France, I also made the move to teaching adult ESL learners. The following questions arose again and again, no matter what the industry: How do we learn best? How do we make room for real skills acquisition when we're faced with heavy demands on our time and energy?</p> <p>Neurolanguage Coaching has brought me greater pleasure and better results in my work with my own clients, and I have been delighted to return to the training room to work with an exceptional group of talented, questing and professional educators.</p>
