I am from England and grew up there before graduating with an MA from Edinburgh University in Scotland.

 After completing the Cambridge CELTA in 2000, I started teaching in Prague. Although I come from a family of teachers, it was in the Czech Republic that I decided that teaching is my passion. This was a wonderful experience and seems a long time ago now, which is why I look  younger in this photo!

 I worked in Estonia for 2 years and took the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry FTBE. I enjoyed the  course about Teaching Business English and gained a Distinction in the exam.

In summer 2003, I moved to Vilnius to open a branch of International Language Services. Since April 2009, I have been working according to 'Verslo liudijimas' as EnglishTeacher.lt.

I and am always trying to improve my Lithuanian. I understand the frustrations and joys of language learners! I'm still studying because I believe that language learning is a life-long experience...

I have worked as an oral examiner at the British Council for Cambridge FCE, CAE, CPE and Young Learners exams since 2004. I am now Team Leader for Lithuania and train other examiners. I also enjoy proofreading and editing, as well as voice recording work.

Since September 2009 I have also been working part-time at the Institute of Foreign Language at Vilnius University.

In short, I love meeting new people and teaching interesting students. I look forward to meeting you soon at Gedimino 28/2-708!

Vilnius is my home now, although of course I go back to the UK to see my family and friends. I sometimes miss pork pie or fish and chips by the sea!
