MEET THE TEACHER

Mary Roveda

Teaching and training are my passions.

I have a Masters in Linguistics and a Tesol diploma in teaching English.

I am a British citizen, and I speak several languages.

Thanks to my work for Medecins Sans Frontieres as an administrator I have lived in many parts of the world and become very attuned to different cultures.

However, I have spent most of my life in Kenya where I worked for the British Council as a teacher and trainer for 10 years and then for UNON as a teacher, trainer and career coach for another 10 years. During that time, I had the opportunity to go on work assignments to different UN duty stations in Africa, Afghanistan and Bahrein. I worked with different UN Agencies and also focused on teaching writing skills such as email etiquette, report writing, interview panel reports and Human Rights reports.

I currently live in Italy and continue running lively and engaging classes for UNON online.

My main goal is to increase students’ confidence so as to improve their performance. I wish to empower them to use English with ease and clarity.
