Trainer

Our coach has lived in Brussels for over 18 years, but prior to that, her working life was in the marketing and media industry for BBC joint ventures in the UK.  She has a Postgrad in Marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing in the UK. However, her journey to Brussels led her to develop a career in the NGO field, specifically in finance, administration, and HR.  Later, she discovered her passion for teaching English as a parent of a bilingual family.  She retrained with a CELTA and an MA TESOL from the Applied Linguistics department at Lancaster University in the UK. She developed a passion for sociolinguistics and communication-based methods of learning second languages.  Her thesis was based on an individual case study of one of her student's challenges with dyspraxia and dysphasia which affect language abilities. This enriching experience has colored her teaching approach ever since. 

Today, she is an established language and management training coach focusing on specific work objectives including presentations, written communications, interviews, public speaking and fine-tuning of pronunciation. She has a wide client basis covering legal, consultancy, and EU organizations who seek to gain clarity and confidence in their own writing. She has a proven track record in training groups and individuals, holding writing workshops for both companies and at Solvay Business School.

Ultimately her aim is to give you the tools to improve your cohesiveness, and structure in all your Academic writing.
