I’ve been teaching English since the late 20th century (a sobering thought).
I’ve taught in a multitude of contexts: big/small classes, adults/YLs, General/Business, Online/Offline, etc, etc.
My work has taken me to Ecuador, the UK, Spain, Thailand, Japan, Oman, Switzerland & France for extended periods.
I’ve been a CELTA tutor since 2002 & in that time I’ve had the pleasure of training 1,500 people from around 15 countries.
My particular ELT interests are content-based instruction, a Dogme approach & promoting digital literacy.
I’m also a translator (CAT/ESP/ENG) & have worked for clients such as ARA, The Islamic Culture Foundation, The Catalan International View, VilaWeb & the Universitat Pompeu Fabra
From 2008-2018 I owned & ran a an organic corner store in the centre of Barcelona with my wife (when I wasn’t busy doing my other jobs!).
A few of my interests:
- scientific (or rational) scepticism
- citizen science
- archaeology
- exhibitions
