Hi there!

TEACHER AND DIGITAL LEARNING DESIGNER

I'm Andrea. Mum to a teenage girl, wife to my best friend (my odd sock), snowboarding and cat lover. I'm a Teacher & Teacher Trainer with a background in Linguistics and Digital Learning Design. Former full-time classroom teacher with over 15 years in the English Language Teaching world helping students and teachers in their learning journeys ➡️ turned Digital Learning Professional & Accessibility in Digital Learning Specialist.

Creative, adventurous and a bit geeky...I love helping teachers and coaches with the many building blocks to create engaging and meaningful digital learning experiences for their students (... just like creating a Lego Masterpiece!) so they can move from tech overwhelm to confidence, reach more learners, level up their teaching, course creation experience and create more freedom in life. And guess what...accessibility is one of the many important blocks needed for engagement, meaningful learning & legal compliance!

Create effective alternative text and include all learners
