I offer intensive programmes to both teachers and students in secondary schools in line with the government’s desire to boost confidence and competence in spoken English.  

For teachers:

• Drama as a Teaching Strategy

• Storytelling as a Teaching Strategy

For students

• Dramatic English and Telling stories

There is a high degree of active participation in all my courses,  making them entertaining as well as informative and practical.

In order to maximise my time - and minimise the overheads of my being in Hong Kong - my courses need to be scheduled intensively over 2-3 days (except where I am working with several classes: in 2009 I spent two weeks in a school offering 6 storytelling workshops to five F1 classes plus the English department, for a total of 60 hours over 10 days.)s.)

WHAT TEACHERS SAY

• My colleague & I both benefited a lot from the way you conducted teachers training and the way you delivered the material. - Esther
• Thanks so much for such a fantastic workshop! You really breathed some life back into me! It was possibly one of the best workshops I've ever been to - with a mix of stories and drama as well. You're really very engaging. - Bernadette, Fanling Govt Secondary (May 2009)

• It’s always a challenging task to teach students to write, so it’s an inspiring workshop here to learn a revolutionary way to teach students how to write and organize their stories. Great Job!

• On a scale of 10, you rated 10+ for professionalism and dedication.  As a workshop, yours will be the one against which others will be measured.
• I'm glad I insisted on my 4C girls practising their reading with you. It was a fantastic learning experience for them - HoD Maryknoll Convent 2010
