Hi everyone! I'm a a teacher, trainer and methodology writer based in Seville. I've worked in Spanish mainstream education and the private academy sector and held positions with the British Council in Barcelona and in Damascus.

I've published a number of methodology books for teachers through Pavilion Publishing & Media, UK, including Understanding Teenagers in the ELT Classroom (2018) and Structuring Fun for Young Learners (2020).

I work with teachers across a wide range of contexts including as trainer for Pilgrims and tutor on the Trinity Diploma for OxfordTEFL.

I am particularly interested in classroom dynamics, the decisions that both learners and teachers make and the dialogue that happens between them.

Other areas I am interested in are the limitations and possibilities of the classroom as space and as event, helping learners remember words and sentences and getting through text.

I have worked alongside APPI for many years now - most often appearing at their annual conference and regional events and as a result have been fortunate enough to get to know many Portuguese towns and cities, and the teachers who work and live there.
