What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue delivering reliable, compliant, high-stakes English assessments while also leading teacher and trainer development—especially in remote or blended settings where scoring consistency and quality assurance are priorities.

I’m a highly experienced English language assessment specialist with over nine years of experience evaluating speaking and writing performance in high-stakes international testing environments. I deliver structured speaking tests, apply standardised band descriptors, and maintain scoring consistency under strict assessment protocols.

I’ve supported assessment delivery both face-to-face and remotely, including examiner training and teacher development, and I adapted assessment workflows to remote systems during COVID-19. Alongside assessment work, I’ve designed and delivered communication and English training programmes, facilitated online/hybrid learning as an E-Moderator, and trained teachers through IELTS programmes.
