During my time as a translator, I worked with large international companies such as Toyota, Bluescope Steel and Toshiba on translation of complex mechanical and electronic schematics. It was a privilege and great experience to work with some of the best translators around. During my teaching career, I’ve been lucky enough to teach children, teens and adults from all over the world in all levels of English, providing me with several years of experience and understanding in developing English as a second language.

As an individual who has made his own career through the study of languages and linguistics, I have always enjoyed sharing my own passion with my students. Language study is the key to many doors — overseas travel, study or employment — and it will always be a pleasure for me to help others find this key. There are few things as satisfying as watching your students develop and progress their language skills, and at the same time, develop a level of cultural understanding between themselves and countries foreign to them. English, as the global language, is sometimes forgotten as an interesting language on its own: I will always love reminding my students about the different accents and nuances of English, and how to see English as a way of life for many different cultures!
