FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you teach medical or nursing professional knowledge?
No. My courses are job-related language training. I teach specialist language and practise typical professional communication situations. The courses do not replace medical or nursing education, training or professional development.
What is the best way to contact you?
Please use email or the contact form for the initial enquiry. I usually reply within 24 hours. As I cannot reliably take calls while teaching, written first contact is the most dependable option.
