About Me.

Teaching is my passion

Get To
Know Me.

I’m a DELTA qualified teacher based in Parma, North Italy.

Having lived & studied in Malaysia, the US and Italy, I’ve been made aware of the social injustices reserved for those who are forever perceived as foreign, non-native speakers of English.

English Language Teacher turned
Equity Advocate for
non-native english teachers

good to know.

A HUGE passion for music & singing.

 You can find some old videos that did NOT go viral on youtube, if you care enough to look. 

The passion led me to get rid of my stage fright and shyness, and eventually to speaking at International Conferences on the topic of Native Speakerism. 

Work Experience.

I’ve worked as an English language teacher since age 23.

I’ve worked with adults, YL, Companies, Private Language Schools,  Primary & Secondary Cycles.

I’ve taught English as a first & second language, Face2Face, Classes, Small Groups & Online.
