About Me

The Language for the Brain initiative is a culmination of 25 years working in education and the charity sector. It brings my teaching, tutoring, language, people skills and proactive interest in individual and community wellbeing together to highlight language learning as a creative mechanism for promoting brain health through mental stimulation.

I started out as as a Lecturer in Further and Higher education after completing a four-year degree in Spanish and Portuguese. Completing a PGCE, I subsequently taught in Greater London before heading off to Paris where I worked for two reputable international organisations.

I have run my own language learning business since 2016, tutoring and coaching in French, Spanish & Portuguese to individuals of all ages.

Completing an ICF accredited course in language coaching gave me a conduit to discover more about the science of learning. Thanks to neuroscientists and their research there is proof that no, it’s never too late to learn. Indeed, my own coachees have proved this to me. In fact, it’s good for the brain; stimulating those neural connections and triggering the circulation of “happy” hormones when delivered in a way which recognises every single one of our brains is different, not just because of our genes but more importantly due to our own individual life experiences.
