Hello! My name is Jack and I’ve been teaching English for 13 years. I really enjoy my job as it allows me to meet and talk to people from all over the world. I have a lot of experience in teaching General English and writing resources, and I am passionate about helping students feel confident to express themselves.

Emma H

Hi! My name is Emma and I've taught English in Ecuador, Spain and the UK. I studied English and Comparative Literature at university and I'm currently doing a part-time Master's in Creative Writing at UEA, alongside teaching English. I have experience of preparing students for PET, FCE and CAE as well as teaching General English, and I enjoy making my classes as creative as possible. Teaching is great because I love travelling and meeting people from different cultures - even when I teach in the UK it feels like I'm travelling!

Tom

Hi, I'm Tom. Having completed a BA in International Development at the UEA and written my dissertation on English language education in Japan, in 2016 I moved to a small town in the Japanese countryside. I taught in schools and community centres there for three years, before starting my own business teaching English privately from home. I came back to the UK to study for a PGCE at the UEA in 2021, and am now very happy to have the opportunity to meet so many fantastic students from all over the world here in Norwich. I am keen on a variety of sports - particularly football and distance running - and you will often find me at Parkrun on Saturday mornings. I also like to cook, bake bread and drink tea!

Joy

Hello! My name is Joy, and I have taught English in Italy and the UK. I studied English Literature at university, then worked in culture organisations in the UK, including museums, theatres and a literary agency. I am also a creative writer and journalist, and my writing is published in magazines in the US and UK. I started teaching English later in life, and it is the best job I have ever had! I love to meet students from all over the world and help them learn English using fun and creative activities. I have experience teaching General English to young learners and adults, as well as KET and PET exam preparation classes. Alongside teaching English, I am writing my second book, supported by a grant from Arts Council England. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading books, watching films, doing yoga and walking in the beautiful British countryside.
