Since 2016, I have been working as an Assessment Manager in Cambridge English on a number of different Qualifications papers at a variety of levels and across all skills. I’ve also worked with the Global Network in the Balkans and with a number of centres in describing the test production process at Cambridge English with presentations on this theme. I’m also interested in the process of content creation and ways we can add new content to our existing exams and in new products in the future. Previously, I worked as an EFL teacher in the Czech Republic, Italy, France, Portugal and the UK, and from 2005-2016 as the director of my own private language academy in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. I’ve also written a book, Sl- is for Sleaze but Sn- is for Sneeze! on phonosemantics and the intrinsic meaning found within consonant clusters.
