A graduate of English from the University of London, Anna completed her Master’s in Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Kent in 1994. She worked briefly and quietly for the library service, but two years later, broke free of those dusty corridors to work with books more creatively and analytically, as copy-editor and production editor, then managing editor, for a publishing services company in Kent specialising in educational and academic books.
After ten years, she went freelance, continuing her editorial work for a variety of clients, broadening her subject areas and formats to include online publications. Following a serious pep talk from her husband (aka being shoved in front of a student on a computer screen with nothing but a handful of learning materials to hide her consternation), over the last five years, Anna has also been teaching English as a second language on italki, the online language-learning platform, alongside her editing.
She has now taught over 4000 hours of lessons of English, focusing on accent, literature, writing and conversation. She finds the balance between solitary editing and gregarious tutoring to be one conducive to personal bliss.
Anna is a keen student herself, and has accumulated a cluster of slightly superfluous A levels since leaving school. She is currently learning Spanish. She has been vegan for 30 years and lives with her vegan husband and vegetarian son, and exceedingly carnivorous cat, in Tunbridge Wells. She has been known to inflict her poetry and ‘creative’ writing on any innocent bystander within a range of three feet.
Through this site, you can contact Anna directly to help you with any of the above freelance tutoring and editorial services.
At British English Lab, Anna’s goal is to help you speak and write like a native. Through engaging ESL lessons, close textual editing and, soon, an array of podcasts, she wants to spread her love of the English word around the world.
