I have been a freelance English language trainer and translator since 2001. I collaborate with companies and individuals of all ages and contexts, often seeing adults' lives and careers shifted or transformed thanks to enhanced English language proficiency. Working with kids meanwhile, means contributing to their well-being. Together with the various challenges and opportunities of freelancing, such experiences lend meaning to my work. I concur with what Oliver Wendell Holmes said, 'Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow'. All language matters. Always.
I was born near Greenwich, London. Monza, Italy, has been home since 2001. Between work commitments, I regularly make time for an hour-long run in the park opposite my home or drive to one of the local pools, sometimes going as far as Barzanò in the summer, for a blissful workout in the water. I adore swimming. In fact, I find there are many similarities between the acquisition of sporting and linguistic proficiency... At weekends I frequently enjoy cycling up and around the many spectacular landscapes of northern Italy.

"Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the 'naturals', the ones who somehow know how to teach". Peter Drucker
