Hi I’m Niki Joseph.

Back in 1988 I applied for a job in South America. I went along for the interview and got the job. January 1989 saw me doing the CTEFLA at IH London and then I got on a plane to Brazil for my first year teaching. I loved it!

Back in the UK a year later, I got a job in London, and then went to Italy for a couple of years. Portugal was next and currently I’m in Australia.

I feel I’ve been really lucky (or in the right place at the right time!) and through work have travelled widely as a writer, teacher and trainer .

I started writing in 2004 in Portugal, and since then have contributed to many publications. When I’m at the computer (or jotting down ideas in my notebook) I draw on all that extensive experience gained from teaching and training in classrooms over the world.

I’ve taught pre-school, primary, teens and adults at all levels (both general and exam-focused). I’ve taught EAP and job seeking skils to university students

I’ve worked with the University of Cambridge as a consultant for nearly 25 years.

I also teach regularly to stay in touch with the classroom, students and teachers, and to ensure my experience is up-to-date.

But also because I do love being in the classroom and I love writing - in approximately equal measure!
