About Me
About Me
I’m a lecturer, corporate trainer, and language specialist based in Berlin. Originally from Cornwall, I’ve worked across England—Manchester and London among them—but Berlin is where I found my home. What makes me different isn’t just where I’ve worked, but how I work.
After 6 years in the corporate world (customer service, IT support, operations), I saw firsthand how language gaps hold people back. That experience taught me real communication: navigating meetings, handling calls under pressure, presenting ideas clearly. Now I bring that insight to every lesson.
Since 2015, I’ve lectured in Business English at university level, working with TOEFL and IELTS frameworks. I left formal language schools because working directly with students is far more rewarding. Now I work in the secondary school system in Brandenburg as an English as a Second Language for 12-18 year olds. I have taken a holistic approach to lnaguage education 🙂
What I Do
I design and deliver English solutions for companies and individuals across Berlin—in-person, online, or blended. My approach: communicating simply, effectively, and with purpose. I develop custom courses after thorough needs analysis, set clear learning objectives, and make sure it’s engaging (and yes, enjoyable).
I stay current with L&D trends and manage all the admin myself, so you get consistent, professional service.
What I’m Interested In
Beyond business English, I’m genuinely passionate about ethical business development, renewable energy, and medical technology—especially telehealth. That sector knowledge helps me work more effectively with specialists in those fields. And if you need to discuss football or food? I can talk about those for hours.
