About Text and the City
Delivering content and editorial services constructed with creativity, care and integrity, is what Text and the City does best. I’ve been devoted to this goal from 2000 onwards and have since written and edited contributions for numerous print and online media – to mutual contentment, without exception. (Please see some of the references I’ve been given.)
In 2015 I added to my qualifications by obtaining a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (issued by Cambridge University) as well as a diploma in early English language development. Together with my partner Bianca Timman, I train and advise teacher teams in setting up English language curricula for their primary schools.
