Hello, my name is Agnes. I have been teaching English for over 20 years. During this time, I have fulfilled several roles such as teacher, mentor, programme manager, and Director of Studies. I have been teaching EAP at UK Higher Education institutions since 2017. In my free time I like doing yoga, swimming, hiking, and going to theatre and independent cinemas.

I teach on the Foundation programme and the summer EAP Pre-sessional courses. I have taught English for General Purposes, English for Academic Purposes, Business English, and ESOL.
