I've been teaching English as a foreign language to children for more than 16 years in Spain, Argentina, Korea, Romania and the UK. In more recent years I have developed materials and courses based around stories and craft. I run sessions as extra-curricular activities in schools and also teach small groups of children in a home-schooling environment. The age groups I currently work with range from 3 to 12 years.
Learning through play. One of the main aims of Kids Club English courses and materials is to help facilitate language acquisition and learning in a fun and natural way. At the core is a desire to create opportunities for playing with language, while including sufficent repetition and memorable context. For this reason, my teaching style revolves around songs, stories, games and craft.

I grew up in Dundee, Scotland before going to the University of Edinburgh to complete a Master of Arts degree in English Literature. During my teaching career to date, I have successfully completed CELTA (certificate in English language to adults), DELTA (diploma in English language teaching to adults) and TYLEC (teaching young learners extension certificate) courses. I have also continuously engaged in professional development opportunities and most recently completed the British Council's English in Early Childhood course.
