I’ve spent more than 13 years teaching English, developing teachers and building learning environments where people can genuinely progress.
My career has taken me from England to Thailand and Vietnam, working with young learners, adults, professionals and senior executives.
In Vietnam, I moved beyond my own classroom into teacher leadership and development. As Head Teacher at APAX English in Hanoi, I led and mentored around 15 native English teachers.
I later co-founded Star Language in Da Nang, growing the centre from zero to more than 150 students. I was involved across curriculum, recruitment, teacher training, marketing and day-to-day operations.
After roughly 12 years living in Asia, I returned to the UK to continue developing professionally and work towards PGCE and QTS.
The details matter: how you structure an idea, choose the right language, control your delivery and adapt to the person in front of you.
In Da Nang, Vietnam, I co-founded and ran Star Language, growing the centre from the ground up and working across teaching, curriculum, teacher development, recruitment, marketing and day-to-day operations.
That experience changed the way I teach. I understand the classroom, but I also understand the bigger picture: how programmes are built, how teachers improve and what keeps students engaged long enough to make real progress.
My education work and the projection-dome project at Star Language attracted national television attention in Vietnam. This photograph captures me being interviewed by VTV during the project.
