My grandfather was a schoolteacher, and when I was growing up, he'd rap my knuckles with a spoon if I made any errors in grammar. While that certainly motivated me to use English correctly, I think a more gentle approach to learning is better ;-) I love helping others learn to write well in English, and I hope I can help you improve your English skills!

Biography
I attended grammar school in England, which was determined to teach me to write and speak English correctly. It was a while ago but I remember it fondly. After school, I spent two years working in the chemical, and coal industries as a laboratory technician, then 30 years in IT, of which the final 15 years were in management roles. During those times I wrote thousands of documents of all descriptions. The English always had to be precise and the format faultless. Away from my desk, I am an avid sports fan. After retiring in 2011 I lived in Goa, India for a year. For the last nine years I have lived in Thailand. I like to help people, so please let me help you with your English.
