ABOUT ALEX
In 2006, I graduated with a 2.1 in Linguistics and Phonetics. Then, I qualified with a PGCE in Secondary English (Outstanding Teacher Practice and Distinction).
After seven years of teaching lessons rated ‘Outstanding’ by OFSTED, in 2016, ambitions shifted to combining professional growth with personal development. I wanted to learn more about teaching and education on a global scale. This led to establishing a self-employed business formed of multiple roles that combine my passion for helping provide education for all with using my linguistic skills.
With freedom over my professional development, I have particularly specialised in pedagogy, SDG4, learning poverty, assessment, digital and writing skills.
​
Now, I work hard to apply managerial, entrepreneurial skills to my remote self-employed business that works with people all across the world. My career is based on being open-minded to opportunities, especially those that use technology to improve learning outcomes.
​
I am proud of my fearless nature of accepting, embracing and rising to challenges.
