I have always had a passion for professional
development. I have 23 years of teaching experience, including teaching young learners,
teenagers and adults; conducting lessons and trainings for lawyers, accountants, IT and business people.
I love travelling and have been to 12 countries so far
(lived in two of them for a year).
I always look forward to the four Cs – creating, communicating,
collaborating and thinking critically with my students! These are the 21st century skills after all!!!
