Hi there!
Hi and welcome to Short and Simple English. Click here to read more about the contents of this site and our services.
Who am I?
Hi, I'm Jo, a teacher trainer, online and AI teaching specialist, educational consultant, and content creator.
My main fields of interest are:
the integration of AI into course planning and assessment
assessment & feedback practices in the classroom
making teaching better for everyone involved.
I’ve been teaching general and business English and been preparing for different exams for more than 15 years at various language schools in Hungary, the UK, and Poland. I’ve also been teaching English for Academic Purposes for 5 years at various universities in the United Kingdom.
I work as a freelance teacher trainer for several companies and organisations, such as Cambridge University Press and Assessment, Oxford University Press, and NYESZE (Hungarian Association of Language Schools). I also teach at Karoli Gaspar University in Hungary, where I teach methodology courses to pre-service and in-service teacher trainees, and I help university lecturers improve their digital competencies and general teaching skills.
In my free time, I’m an extremely energetic person who loves all types of sport, especially mountain biking and hiking, but I’m happy to try anything that gives me a burst of energy.
