About Me

As a professional English & IT teacher, business & academic mentor and coach, with passions for language, travel and lifelong learning, I work with individuals and groups around the world to help others grow in confidence and unlock their true potential.

After many years in UK military, corporate and educational institutions, I decided to launch my online business to teach Academic English to international adults as well as offering one-on-one guidance and mentorship to business owners. When I’m not teaching or coaching, you can usually find me building a website, editing a book for a client or travelling. I also incorporate some holistic techniques within my programmes to help reduce stress and enhance wellbeing helping you to achieve your goals while still coping with a busy schedule!

I’m fortunate that through having such a diverse lifestyle picking up amazing experiences along the way, I have developed an incredible network of business partners, colleagues and friends from all over the world!

They’ve taught me that the secret to true fulfilment is by consistently interacting with our network and to keep working together to get the greatest results and because I am passionate about sharing great things, helping others, education and travel I am excited to be able to share some of those opportunities and incredible people with you!

But best of all, if I can’t fulfil your needs there’s a good chance that someone in my network can!

Read some success stories

Hiroki, committed to safeguarding Japan's forests, embarked on a transformative journey. Over a year, we collaborated closely, refining his English for the Academic IELTS exam. With unwavering dedication, he secured admission to UCL in London. Supported by his employer, Hiroki thrived, earning not one, but two Masters degrees. After years of virtual mentorship, and coaching, Hiroki travelled around England, and our paths finally met for lunch when he travelled to Liverpool for the day. As we parted ways, I marvelled at his transition from forestry steward to academic trailblazer, and confident English user, his story a testament to perseverance and growth.

Tugrul's determination shone brightly when he joined my English class. Juggling his role as a local government health and safety manager in Türkiye his dream of becoming a pilot, he embraced online lessons fervently. Week by week, three times a week, we tackled English grammar and vocabulary, preparing him meticulously for the IELTS exam and industry-specific training. Through the digital interface, his progress was clear, his skills sharpening with each session. Today, as he takes to the skies almost three years later, I'm filled with pride, knowing our online sessions played a crucial role in his journey from dedicated learner to accomplished pilot.

Don’t just take my word for it, hear from some clients

“Great to work with Lisa. She is a tireless and enthusiastic proofreader and typesetter who also has significant knowledge of the publishing industry which makes the whole self-publishing thing a whole lot easier. I would recommend Lisa to you without hesitation. I shall definitely be asking her to work with me again. I only hope she is available. ”

“Very helpful to have an editor who uses the same version of InDesign as me which allowed seamless transfer of a large fairly complex book file. Great work!”

“I am absolutely satisfied with all the work that Lisa does! My newsletter looks fantastic. She is master of her trade. Great team work Lisa, thanks!”

“This is the second project that I have used Lisa on and she has proven to be as good as the first one. Her articles are very rich with quality content and grammatically correct (this is huge as a lot of writers have no grasp of good grammar). She can relate to the audience she is writing for. Lisa also communicates well and is also creative with her writing. Once again I would recommend to anyone looking to hire her. ”

“Lisa is a true leader and is so knowledgeable! I know whatever she works on, it comes back better than I imagined. She is very good at tuning into where you are going with a project and making optimum suggestions to make it even better. I definitely recommend her to anyone! She produces great work, is professional and very timely. Excellent to work with!!!”

“ Teacher Lisa is very professional in teaching, she has a high skill in explaining and communicating the information, to the point that you feel that you do not need to review the lessons, she has a high skill in facilitating the information and making it simpler, I like to take many lessons with her, and she also has a wide culture about everything, And she's very flexible, I love that she can make a plan to take your level to a higher level, really teacher Lisa is different and wonderful and funny and beautiful.“

“Lisa has been a reliable contractor, she regularly turns out good quality work and is full of good ideas to assist the client. There was a reasonable amount of writing to be done on this project which she delivers with a light and easily readable style, essential for web based content. Go ahead and hire her, you won't be disappointed!”

"Lisa's tour to Southport was very informative and it was obvious that a lot of thought and research had gone into this. She started off by the memorial to the RNLI tragedy of 1886 in which two out of three lifeboats, that had gone to the rescue of a German vessel called the Mexico, tragically capsized and the crews lost their lives, but the Mexico was saved. I have probably walked past this memorial on numerous occasions, and I had no idea. Then Lisa took us for a walk along the pier. She had checked the times of the tides so that we'd able to see the sea (as when the tide is out, the sea is very far away). The weather was perfect. A very enjoyable tour."

“Its been a pleasure working with her!! Looking forward to working with her on more projects!!! Thanks bunches for all you help!”
