Hi! I'm Helen Marjan and I'm the Joint Managing Director and the Director of Studies at Lorna Whiston.

I have been involved in teaching in Singapore since 1989, and have had
the opportunity during this time to teach English to students from all over the South East Asia region, including Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan and Japan. I have also worked in local Singapore schools, teaching English to both local and overseas students, and thus have a very thorough knowledge of the Singapore Education system.

I graduated with a four year upeer second class Honours degree in Modern Languages from Hull University, UK, then went on to take a Post Graduate Certificate in Education with a specialism in language teaching. Prior to coming to
Singapore I taught language in both England and France, working mainly
with 12-16 year olds.

I am frequently involved in designing, writing and conducting teacher training programmes and seminars in the field of TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and have designed and written many English language programmes for students of all levels of language proficiency.

I believe that for students to have success with language learning, classes must be enjoyable and students need to be motivated. I also believe that good teachers never stop learning and a few years ago I took a Masters degree in Teaching English to Young Learners with the University of York, UK.
