About Me
After graduating from Monash several decades ago, I immediately began working as a class ESL teacher at a local community house. I taught adults from a huge variety of countries and different English levels.
Over the years I have continued to work in a wide range of community roles with different sectors of our multicultural communities. I lived in Malaysia for eight years and know what it’s like to learn and have to use a new language on a daily basis. In addition to post-graduate qualifications in English as a Second Language teaching, I have degrees in Psychology and Sociology which support my work helping understand and teach people who are facing major life and work changes.
I aim to make my classes as relevant as possible to what you are doing in life and feel privileged to help you try to achieve your goals and dreams. My counselling and language teaching have always focused around assisting people to achieve more in life. I have a strong background in supporting
people experiencing career barriers, by focusing on professional and social confidence, and communication expertise in order to assist in career advancement.

Why I Teach
- I am highly motivated by seeing change that results in people achieving goals.
- I get great satisfaction from facilitating that change by empowering people to learn new skills, and to release incorrect habits and self-sabotaging behaviours and mindsets.
- I combine my background in both Counselling and English teaching to help you gain the skills and confidence you need to achieve your goals.
- I love seeing that new level of confidence in people when they speak in general and when they envision their future.
- I create winners.
