I have lived abroad since 1993, first in Hong Kong, then Tokyo and later Kyoto in Japan. I taught English, did translations as well as study the culture and language. I moved to Madrid, Spain in 2003 where I continued working as an English teacher but I also studied and specialised to become a business trainer focusing on Communication, Coaching, mentoring & Intercultural relations.
I’m a Cambridge examiner, an academic mentor, a translator and I helped to write an Academic Writing course which I teach as an Associate Professor at the IE University in Madrid.

I have been a Language Coach & Director of OSL One Stop Language Services since 2009, covering English classes, Cambridge exam preparation & writing classes and courses, mentoring, translation, proof-reading, Business English courses and training. I specialize in communication and culture, exam preparation, academic writing skills, business presentations & negotiations, and preparing for interviews.
