Our teachers

Hi, I’m Goldie. I’m from England. After a career in publishing, I realised I wanted a job that would facilitate a life abroad once my kids had flown the nest, so I did CELTA in 2008 and gained a teaching Diploma two years later. My first teaching job was in England, where I helped immigrants prepare for the UK job market. After that came Bulgaria and now Ukraine. I’ve taught all ages and levels, but particularly enjoy teaching corporate and exam prep classes. I love travel and wine.

Hi, I’m Martin. I’ve worked as a teacher trainer for the British Council for more than 16 years now. I’ve worked in Russia, UAE and South Korea. I have extensive experience of all kinds of teaching and training, being also a Celta Main Course Tutor and IELTS examiner. I enjoy the fact that I can still learn things from my students and colleagues and that even after 20 years teaching, something new and surprising can happen any time. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family.
