“You are a talented and committed teacher, able to use a range of techniques and insights to make the language come alive. You are able to build on my interests and develop a curriculum around that, which I really admire. I strongly commend your work.” Professor Linden West - PhD FRSA - Director of Research Development - Canterbury Christ Church University
