I am lucky because I came to teaching young in life and I struck gold immediately – I think few people find their calling in their very first job.
I started teaching at a popular English language school in Malta in 2002. I was at this school for 9 years, during which I taught hundreds of students of all nationalities – Italian, German, Spanish, Czech, Libyan, Turkish, Korean, Japanese, Colombian, Brazilian… I taught adult General English and Cambridge exam classes, as well as Business English.
In 2004 I was invited to Dusseldorf to give Business English seminars at an advertising agency, and in 2006 I taught English to adults for 3 months at a school of English in Perth, Australia, while there on a working holiday adventure.
Over the years I got various ELT qualifications – BA English (Hons) Language & Literature, MA English Language, Cambridge ESOL CELTA, & Trinity DipTESOL. I genuinely love learning, so advancing my qualifications has been a joy in itself, and so I can easily put myself in a learner’s shoes.
For 5 years I was Director of Studies at 2 reputable language schools in Malta, guiding teams of teachers in their own teaching, giving hundreds of students a service with a smile, specialising as an English for Specific Purposes Trainer, and an English Teacher Trainer.
