After a twenty-year career at the University of Westminster in London, where I held a number of posts, including Chair of Professional Education, Chair of English and Linguistics, and Director of the Centre for English Learning and Teaching, I am currently a freelance author with a back list of popular grammar practice books for students, including the co-authored 'Oxford Grammar for EAP' (Oxford University Press, 2013), ‘A Handbook of Spoken Grammar’ (DELTA Publishing, 2011), 'Oxford Practice Grammar Basic' (Oxford University Press, new edition, 2019) and 'Improve Your Grammar' (Bloomsbury Academic, 2022). I have given talks and workshops at international conferences in the UK, Hong Kong, Belgium, Spain and Uzbekistan, and have designed courses for universities and colleges in Japan, Singapore, China and Oman.
