Meet the teachers
Our English teachers are trusted volunteers who have plenty of experience in using the English language.
Hi there! My name is Graham
I have recently moved to live in the city of Leeds in the North of England and am now retired after 27 years as a Pastor.
I have always loved languages and studied German at university. Now I am also learning Italian. I only have a little experience of teaching English but it is my native language and I have experience of teaching other subjects.
I love to help people grow in their Christian faith. I also enjoy my connection with TEN and recently helped set up a partnership between my last church and the Evangelical Church in Bitola, North Macedonia.
Hello, I’m Mary
I studied Medicine at Southampton University and worked as a doctor for 40 years until retiring in 2018.
My work often included teaching and training. I enjoy travelling and have been to many countries. I love the English language and also enjoy Spanish. Since retiring, I have taught doctors and laboratory staff during visits to Moldova and also online. I also studied with the TEFL Academy to become an English teacher.
I live in Bristol with my husband. We have one daughter. I have been a Christian nearly all my life. My local church supports several Mission Partners in the UK and around the world. I am the link person with Mission Partners in Moldova and the church has a partnership with TEN.
Hi, I’m Nick
I was born in Liverpool, England. I worked for the British Government until I retired. My job often included training others. I enjoy helping people to learn new things, so a few years ago I studied with the TEFL Academy to become an English teacher.
Since 2019 I have helped at TEN, teaching English (usually online) to people in Eastern Europe. I go to and help at a Baptist Church near where I live, not far from Cambridge. I am married and have two children and four grandchildren. I have visited many countries in Europe. I like to travel and to meet different people.
Hello, my name is Sue
I live in Liverpool. I am married to Chris and we have one son and two grandchildren.
Teaching has been a big part of my adult life. I was a primary school teacher for thirty years. I also taught the Bible and the Christian faith in Sunday school at my local church. Then, some time ago, I studied for a CELTA course (Teaching English to Adults). This was so I could go to Tanzania and teach English to students at a Bible college. I did this for three years and enjoyed it very much.
Chris and I have a friend who works for TEN in Bristol. It is because of her that we know about TEN. We like to read about the Pastors, their churches and people – and also pray for them.
