IN SERVICE TRAINING

I’ve worked in more than 30 countries giving seminars and workshops as well as coaching Waldorf English teachers individually. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, these activities have had to be reduced to online coaching. China, Vietnam, Finland, Russia and Mexico are on the list for when international travel will be possible again.
