A native English speaker with international experience
I am a Scottish-born British native English speaker, based in France, with an international background in hospitality, business, marketing, consulting and training.
My career has taken me through the UK, France, Denmark and Japan, working with international clients, teams and businesses. Alongside my work as a chef, author and consultant, I have spent years teaching, training and explaining complex subjects to people from different cultures and professional backgrounds.
That experience shapes my approach to English coaching: practical, clear, direct and focused on real communication.
