Langbrella is run by me, Andy — an English language teacher, teacher trainer and tech enthusiast. I'm supported by a small group of trusted friends and consultants who share my interest in languages, education, communication and meaningful technology.
Just as importantly, many of my long-term students have helped shape Langbrella. Their feedback and experiences have influenced the lessons, courses and teaching approach and methods I've developed over the years — and they continue to influence what I'm building now.
While I'm currently the main person behind the scenes, I'm certainly not building Langbrella alone. Thank goodness!
And what you see here is not just a website, It's the first public expression of 25 years of teaching, observation, experimentation, innovation, mistakes, discoveries and ideas.
Langbrella draws on more than two decades of experience in English language teaching, teacher training, course design, academic management and educational technology.
