Tamara Parsons

A relative newcomer to ELT, Tamara fell into teaching entirely by chance. Despite spending much of the first 2 months in tears in the car park, she rather enjoyed it – just not the inevitable crowd control required in secondary education. A few years, a CELTA and the DipTESOL later, she felt a little more confident in what she was doing… Now living in France, she divides her time between writing and teaching general and business English to adults; groups of teenagers still bring her out in a cold sweat.
