It is also internationally accredited throughout the world by organisations that employ English language teachers. Since then, she has taught English

overseas  and  in  the  UK,  working  for  independent  institutions.  She  now  freelances  full time, assisting  students  in   preparing  for  their  ESOL and  prides  herself  on  a  very  high pass rate.

Her  philosophy  is  simple:  “Give  a  man  a  fish  and  you  feed  him  for  a  day;  teach  a  man  to  fish  and  you  feed  him  for  a  lifetime  (Maimonides)”.  In  other  words,  the  tools  you  teach  each  and  every  student  are  ‘preparation  for  life’.    The  whole immersion experience is designed to help cultural awareness something which Elusivewax Limited places great importance on.
