About the author

I was an avid language learner at high school studying every language offered - French, Spanish and Russian. At Sheffield University I completed a Joint Honours degree in French and Spanish followed by a PGCE. In 1985 I began teaching French, Spanish and EFL, then moved to Hong Kong where I taught English and onto Australia in 1988. From teaching I moved into language testing (since 1992) and began test writing for Cambridge Exams in 1995. In my writing I am very conscious of my language learner self and see myself very much as a teacher. My aim is to try to produce the type of book I would like to use in the classroom.

Regular English language grammar handbook. The exercises and examples in the book don't resemble IELTS tasks.
