Alice J.

I am a professional writer with Master's degrees in both Creative Writing and French-to-English Translation. I have exceptional English language skills, including advanced knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, written communication and creative expression. I also have a strong ability to analyse language and express ideas clearly.

Originally from London, UK, I grew up across the Middle East, Asia and Europe. I studied in Paris for five years, becoming fluent in French, and I am now based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, where I spent a large part of my childhood. My international background has given me a broad cultural awareness and extensive experience communicating with people from different cultures and nationalities.

Alongside my writing career, I have five years of experience as an indoor cycling instructor and Community Manager at Motion Cycling. This role has strengthened my communication, presentation and interpersonal skills, as well as my ability to create engaging and supportive environments for others.

My teaching approach is supportive and engaging, tailored to each student's individual needs. I encourage students to develop independent and critical thinking skills, helping them understand the reasoning behind an answer rather than simply memorising material for exams. My goal is to develop strong communication skills, both written and spoken, so that students can express their ideas clearly and confidently.

As a professional writer, I strive to make English Language and Literature as accessible and enjoyable as possible. I adapt my approach according to each student's strengths, areas for development and learning style. I believe every student should be able to learn in a positive and supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas and making mistakes.
