I’m a qualified teacher with an ESOL subject specialism, and I teach English for speakers of other languages face-to-face and online. I have an MEd in Applied Linguistics, and an MA in Online and Distance Education. My goal for the future is to grow a large and successful site for English language learners based on the 'pay what you can' for-profit business model, i.e. based on people’s ability to pay. I’ll be embarking on this on the soon-to-be-launched Botanical Linguist site. This Online English Lessons site will continue to offer free lessons and resources and to be free of advertising. For more information please see my About page and my manifesto.
