Hi. I am based in the Department of Quality Assurance and Improvement at Lewisham College London.
I work as an improvement practitioner and a lecturer in Teacher Education. I have been teaching since 2006 and have taught ESOL, IELTS and EAP in further and higher education sectors in the UK and UAE. I am a CELTA trainer and I also teach on PGCE (Level 6 teacher training course) programme offered by Canterbury Christchurch University UK. I hold 2 MAs in English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics, CELTA, DELTA, PGCE, TKT, and DTELLS (subject specialist Diploma in Teaching English). I am currently working on my doctorate and my research looks at the politics of quality improvement policies in Further Education.
The key question that drives my research is how quality assurance and improvement policies, such as classroom observations, are linked to teaching practices. Last year, in July 2018, I presented my research paper at ARPCE international Conference at Oxford university. I will be coming to Moscow to run summer 2020 CELTA courses.
