✅ As an editor I love to play with words as I break down the syntax of my native language.
I can help you reach the full potential of your skills through uncompromising thoroughness.
I love to get students engaged in discussions on everyday subjects such as:
• personal details/experiences
• family and friends
• shopping
• work
• health
• leisure
• education/training
• transport
• housing
• weather
• Anything you can think of once you have covered the basics!My lessons & teaching style

- I will accept any rescheduling requests with more than 24 hours' notice. This gives me time to find another student to take the time slot. If you reschedule with less notice or if you fail to attend the lesson, you will need to pay for the lesson in full.

Work Experience
1995 - 1997
Library AssistantI gained experience of working in a number of libraries, both computerised and non-computerised, within the Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells groups. At first this work was part-time, but became full-time and ended with promotion to Senior Library Assistant at Edenbridge library, which was also a secondment. This work gave me experience of stock ordering, merchandise sales, training and supervision of staff, banking and manning the enquiry desk, as well as day-to-day library duties.
1997 - 2006
Managing EditorMy work for this expanding company involved many aspects of academic and school-book production, undertaken for several major publishers. This included page make-up using QuarkXpress 6.52, copyediting and proofreading. I project-managed up to twenty titles at any time, liaising with authors, publishers and artists and co-ordinating members of our team, training where necessary.
I worked on a variety of publications, from full-colour GCSE-level schoolbooks to multi-author academic works.
2006 - Current
Freelance Copyeditor and ProofreaderUtilising the ten years’ experience I gained at GreenGate, I now work in a freelance capacity as an editor and proofreader on a range of publications, from academic and educational textbooks to online learning materials for the NHS.
Clients include Routledge, the House of Lords, Line Communications, Florence Production, Macmillan, GreenGate Publishing Services, Search Press, City & Guilds, Dark Moon, John Blake Publishing, Ebury Press, Integra, HarperCollins and e-LfH.

Lessons with Anna are thought-provoking and interesting! She is cultured, knowledgeable and good at raising questions, the quality really ensures our discussion about texts are always deep and funny. Besides that, I really appreciate that she even corrected my grammar mistakes every time I send messages to her before class, which shows she really cares about students.
I could feel that Anna is sensitive to words, so I even begin to look forward to having writing lessons with her in the future.

I should get it off my chest - I enjoyed every minute of my class with Anna, as always! She is the most attentive, caring and supportive teacher who brightens up my day even if I’m snowed under with work and feel a bit moody.
Whether it’s a British accent class or General English, I always end up having a long list of useful idioms, vocabulary and fun facts about life in the UK.
Thank you, Anna! Looking forward to our next lesson!
