I worked in international reinsurance, medical underwriting and risk selection for ten years in London and Paris before spending five years as Director of Operations of an insurance company in France. Since 2007 I have been drawing on this background – and my own experience of learning French and German in-company – to write and deliver face-to-face courses for individuals and groups as well as on-line training content.
Having studied economics at university, I have since achieved a WSET Level 3 qualification, a professional business English training certificate from Trinity College London, and worked as an English language trainer in large corporations and universities.
Teaching is my passion, and I love using my unique experience to help students achieve their goals.

Wish there was a way to print some of the lectures.
By Rowan Smith on 10/1/2025
The modules are mostly good and interesting to listen to. One issue is that there are a lot of incorrectly transcribed words in the subtitles that will make it harder for non-native speakers of English to follow or full stops or question marks where they don't belong. Cover note was transcribed as covenant at times, for instance, and proposer as proposal. After explaining the difference between damage and damages, the tutor went on to use damages wrongly, to refer to damage to a car.

Very useful information.

L'audio est moyen, on dirait que cela raisone.
By Martha Patricia Martinez Flores on 4/29/2025
Contiene la terminología que estaba buscando en cuanto al negocio de los seguros. La exposición se vuelve muy monótona, lo que hace que no se aprecie el contenido que es valioso.
By Hala Abdulsamad Abdulkhudhur Ahmed Habib on 4/26/2024
All the vocabs were listed and the clarification was amazing with the examples.
By Maria Nikitina on 1/13/2023
It will be excellent with subtitles and infographics (even simple schematic explanations).
