I have been dreaming of becoming a good teacher since I was a child.

My work
I'm based at International House, London where I am Director of Cultural Training and Director of the Business Cultural Trainer’s Certificate.

I have been in the ELT profession most of my working life. I have always loved learning languages and travelling

My name is Dave Willis. I have been involved in English Language teaching since I started work in Ghana, West Africa, in 1963. So that's forty-five years now, and I'm still enjoying it. My wife, Jane, is also involved in ELT. We have retired from full time work, so we no longer do a five to nine job, but we do a lot of work together as writers and teacher educators. It keeps us in touch with friends and colleagues and enables us to travel to run courses and take part in conferences all over the world. You can get an idea of the kind of work we do from our website www.willis-elt.co.uk.
