I’m originally from Northern Ireland, I studied in England and I moved to Montpellier in 2020 after my degree in Modern Languages and Cultures at Durham University. I got my TEFL certificate in 2019. In 2021 I received my neurolanguage coaching qualification. 

My background in languages, and my love for teaching people new things made it inevitable for me to become an English trainer. I decided to study neurolanguage coaching to improve my knowledge of how the brain and language learning are connected, how to put the brain in an optimal learning state and explain grammar concepts in a way that is easier to understand and memorise.

I love to travel and discover new cultures and traditions and the people that live in those spaces. When I was 13 years old my family moved to Australia, then when we returned to Ireland I started language exchanges, which led to me spending a few summers in Barcelona and Cadaques with a very good friend… hence why I studied Catalan later on at university! I worked as an Au Pair in Tuscany Italy, came to France and discovered Montpellier, then moved to Barcelona and worked as an English teacher, before coming back to France. 

When I work with a client I learn a lot about their job and their industry, so I wanted to work with people in an industry that was important to me, and that was contributing to a greater good. In my free time I like reading and watching things about the environment, the circular economy, regenerative and sustainable tourism and seeing amazing projects that are happening all over the world. I decided I wanted to have the opportunity to meet these types of people, and work with them so that they can spread their message and ideas wider through the use of English. 

Most of my sessions take place 1:1 online, I also provide in-company and group training.
