My first degree, from the University of Manchester, is in Law, which I practised for over 30 years, predominantly in a firm of which I was the Senior Partner. During that time I also graduated from the Leeds Business School with a Master’s in Management Sciences. My main passion outside work has always been Theatre, in which subject I also hold a Master’s degree, this time from the University of York. After retiring from the legal profession, I retrained as a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language at the University of York St. John, and am now combining my technical and presentational skills for the benefit of my English Language Students. I remain committed to Lifelong Learning, and have recently (at the age of 67) graduated from the University of Oxford (Pembroke College) with a Postgraduate Diploma in Organisational Leadership and (at the age of 70) from the University of Cambridge (Fitzwilliam College) with a Master’s in English Language Assessment.
