About me
I have been a secondary teacher of Japanese and French. I have also taught English in Japan.
I have a Masters in Second Language Teaching and have recently completed my PhD on teaching additional languages in New Zealand schools.
I have had 19-years as a teacher educator - mainly secondary but some primary.
I am currently teaching ESOL to refugee, migrant and international students at Freyberg HS in Palmerston North.
