contact I divide my time between subtropical Northern New South Wales, Australia, and Portugal (Lisbon and the Ser de Estrella). I have three daughters and an extended family to boot. I’ve taught EFL at levels from primary to secondary (junior and senior), adult, vocational and higher education. I've delivered teacher training in China, Mexico, the UK, the Netherlands, Indonesia and Germany. For the past 9 years I've been a full-time textbook writer, working, most recently, for Macmillan (UK and Mexico), Garnet Education, Rokus-Klett and OUP. See my website for more information. My main interests in EFL are young learners, primary and secondary, and how to make grammar fun and relevant for any learner, but I basically enjoy writing for any level and any skill. When I do not write, I paint, write / record / sing and ride my horse through the hills.

I live and work in Portugal running my own language school, being a teacher, trainer and a Cambridge ESOL examiner/team leader/presenter. My days are varied - teaching English to primaries, teens and company classes. I also teach music through English to preschoolers. Over the past 17 years I've taught and trained in various countries - Egypt, Brazil, UK, S Africa & Portugal. I'm interested in lots of areas of EFL - online education, motivation in teenagers, preschool music being taught through EFL, and of course (being an examiner) assessment, evaluation & testing. I also do translations - enjoying the tranquility compared to the primary classroom!! Pastimes include watercolour painting, tennis , music and reading.
