👨‍🏫 Profile

I’m a Trinity-qualified English teacher with over ten years of experience teaching refugees and asylum seekers in the UK, business professionals from Italy, university students in Japan and everything in-between. I’m a huge fan of RPGs and wargaming and have used them to great effect in my classes. I’m currently investigating whether using wargames in the English classroom can help students learn prepositions of place.
