在中国生活了10年 30年英语教学
British born - World traveller - Global citizen.I’ve always loved words and telling stories. I'm also obsessed with everything : Curiosity is my thing.英国出生 - 世界旅行者 - 全球公民。我一直喜欢文字和讲故事。我也痴迷于一切：好奇心是我的事。experience, qualifications, approach
I have a 4 year Education Honours Degree from the UK & 30 years global teaching experience in EVERY age-group, with TEFL, ESOL, EAL, ESL and TESOL experience
English as a Second Language (ESL)I'm a fully qualified, very experienced Online TESOL tutor.I'll use the skills and techniques mastered over thirty years of educational experience to quickly progress any student's ability and attainment in spoken and written English with a relaxed and nurturing classroom.英语作为第二语言教学 (TESOL)
我是一个完全合格的，非常有经验的在线 TESOL。
我将利用在 30 多年的教育经验中掌握的技能和技巧，在轻松而有教养的课堂上快速提高任何学生在英语口语和写作方面的能力和成绩。
Experience - Qualifications - FlexibleWhether I am in a UK or a Chinese classroom, with a small group, or an individual, or pairs, or face to face or online, I now have 15 straight years of experience tutoring just TEFL, TESOL, ESL & EAL.
That's a lot of similar acronyms with largely the same meaning. Some key differences have certainly become blurred during the pandemic. Whether I am teaching from or in the UK or Portugal or China; or my students are in China, or Germany, or in the UK - you can be sure that with me they will experience a fully personalised immersive experience designed fundamentally to increase their confidence, egagement and curiosity as they explore and become experts in another language: English.
经验 - 资格 - 灵活无论我是在英国还是中国教室，与小团体，或个人，或双人，或面对面或在线，我现在已经连续 15 年辅导 TEFL、TESOL、ESL 和 EAL 的经验。
这是很多类似的首字母缩略词，含义大致相同。在大流行期间，一些关键差异肯定变得模糊。无论我是在英国、葡萄牙还是中国任教；或者我的学生在中国、德国或英国——您可以肯定，与我一起，他们将体验完全个性化的沉浸式体验，从根本上增强他们探索并成为另一种语言专家的信心、敬业精神和好奇心：英语。
Experienced - Qualified - FlexibleEvery student's experience is different.Students or parents inform me of what they think is desired or required: I will be their navigator, leader, teacher. We'll get there!
Every student is an individual. Every student has Personal Learning Needs and Personal Learning Prefences. I find them. I support them. I enhance them.
每个学生的经历都是不同的。
学生或家长告诉我他们认为需要或要求什么：我将成为他们的领航员、领导者和老师。我们会到达那里！每个学生都是个体。每个学生都有个人学习需求和个人学习偏好。我找到他们了。我支持他们。我增强它们。

Founder, Director & Principal
LWWines.com (aka Laowai Wines)
Wine education, events and retail business, Shanghai, ChinaI conceived, founded & evolved this innovative 'Edu-retail' business model.I created the 'go-to' reliable & safe online home-delivery option for corporate & private clients.
I consulted for & supplied restaurants and grocery stores with premium product.
I supported charity through fundraisers and donations.
From absolutely nothing & no investment other than my own money, time & energy LWwines.com enjoyed 6 years of rich evolution & phenomenal annual growth rates, until it was time to leave SH. The whole enterprise went to a client, who was so excited to carry on the story. Sadly, the potential wasn't realised & now it is gone.
I have the memories & some artwork. Daring to dream was wonderful.
Kindergarten Teacher (C program)
Fudan-Wanke Experimental Private School, Shanghai C-Program (SVKS)
I was responsible for teaching half of the lessons to my class of 18 'bilingual' Kindergarten students learning a mixture of Chinese, US, British and Singaporean curriculum in a special programme - at the time available only to Non-Chinese Nationals within this Private Chinese School.
The programme was in its infancy with three classes. There were few resources, no organisational structure and much innovation.
I began a 'radical' approach of child-centred education.
I reorganised the classroom into zones away from the 'rows of desks' approach.
I introduced the soft carpet /soft furnishings area with the eager help of parents.
With no support funding at all, within weeks, I created a reading library of hundreds of new books.
I introduced the concept and the reality of integrating Educational support professionals, such as Educational Psychologists to support students.
Unfortunately, the school wasn't ready for such innovations: I left at the end of that year. Now, there are twelve classes - and a library.
