I am highly experienced in all editorial production processes of language courses for schools (primary English for the UK and abroad; German and French at GCSE, A-level and International Baccalaureate and Irish equivalents) and distance-learning courses at university level, along with their associated products (audio/interactive online). I also work on primary maths, science, social sciences and computing materials, in addition to a wide range of academic books and journals in both the humanities and the sciences. Available for occasional in-house work.
