How my journey began
I started my career as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language in Poland back in 1993, teaching in private schools and colleges. I then started my own business teaching English to business professionals (e.g. IKEA, Vattenfall), and doing proofreading, copy editing and voice recording for Polish companies.
I absolutely loved Poland (and still do!), but eventually had to return to the UK for family reasons after being there for around 15 years. On returning to the UK, I became a qualified teacher in English for Speakers of Other Languages, and completed a master's degree in Applied Linguistics at the Open University. I’ve been working in UK Higher Education for over 10 years now, and work mainly with international students. I have completed a PhD around Chinese students and their experiences in the UK.
