What do you like about teaching at United English?

I enjoy the dynamic in the school generated by working with lots of different nationalities.

What advice can you offer to language learners?

My tips for learning English are not only to rely on time in the classroom but to become a more autonomous learner and do lots of self study. I would also like to mention that I think it is important that you enjoy learning the language. Inevitably, mistakes will be made but this is part of the learning process so never give up!
