Abby Croucher

Hi! I’m Abby, and my world of ELT began in 2004 in Lisbon, Portugal. Before that, I was immersed in the world of musical theatre, dancing in cabaret shows in various countries (I even ran away with the circus for a year!). I very much feel that English teaching found me, rather than the other way around. It came into my life at a time when I knew I should start thinking about life beyond dance, and after learning Portuguese myself, I found a real passion and curiosity for languages and teaching. Since doing my initial teacher training in 2004, I haven’t looked back! I’ve loved the variety of projects that I’ve been lucky enough to work on over the years, from designing English language materials for primary school teachers, to developing online teacher training courses, but what I love most about this job is meeting teachers from around the world and sharing classroom tips with each other.

Charlotte Wright

Hi! I’m Charlotte and my world of ELT began in Sydney, Australia in 2005 when I travelled there from England to study my CELTA. I fell in love with the people and the country, and returned there in 2008 on a working holiday visa and taught English for a year. After returning to the UK I began teaching IELTS, FCE, CAE and business English, and spent some wonderful summers tutoring on pre-sessional courses at the University of Southampton. Eventually I felt the pull back to Australia and studied an MA in Applied Linguistics at the University of New South Wales. Since then I have become a teacher trainer on CertTESOL courses and designed online teacher training courses. I have continued to teach general English both as a volunteer and a freelancer.
