They are both inspired by the capital city of United Kingdom, London, and its most popular means of transport, the Underground and the red double decker buses.

Besides the posts there are hundreds of materials to be used in class as I am a content creator for several subjects and share them free with every teacher who might find them helpful. One of them is the “Museum of the School”, a collection of graphic artworks depicting features of life and society in different ages of History, from Prehistory to Contemporary Times.

    - I’ve also featured at some Teachers Training Meetings and delivered workshops mainly on how to teach English from a communicative an innovative approach.
