Cape Town English Teacher & Adventure Guide

I have helped thousands of people around the world learn and practice their English skills.

I was born in London, and studied drama at the University of Cape Town.

• 16 years ESL teaching Experience

My first English teaching job was in 1987 in Cairo, Egypt. Then in Russia I taught Unilever's management to improve their English skills. I was also a teacher in Taiwan. I spent four years there teaching at the World Trade Centre Taichung. I also learned Mandarin in Taiwan.

Then I worked for eleven years at Inlingua Language Training Centre, Cape Town. I taught students from Switzerland, Germany, Brazil, Angola and many other countries.

I enjoy teaching beginner and elementary learners. Developing conversation skills of more advanced learners is another favorite skill.

I teach business English. I also help IELTS candidates.

• Adventure guide - hikes & mountain e-bike tours

I am also a qualified adventure guide. I arrange English learners hikes, e-bike tours and adventure weekends in Cape Town's famous wilderness parks, like Table Mountain.

Language learning should be stimulating and fun. So I have helped Mama English create a live-theatrical language-learners' game show.

I have worked as an actor too, and enjoy writing. I wrote a novel, and write news articles about culture, hiking and animal rights issues.
