Oh hey! I’m Lindsay and I do Languages, which is why I founded Lindsay Does Languages in 2012, a community dedicated to inspiring independent language learners + online teachers to succeed when doing it solo.
Even before that, I was teaching + working in education, from diving right into teaching English in Costa Rica for 3 months in 2008, to spending two years as a Learning Support Assistant in the Language Department of a UK secondary school.
In 2012, I went solo and tutored students + groups privately offline. In 2014, I moved things online, working with companies such as italki and BBC Active, being featured in The Guardian + winning multiple business awards along the way.
Now I’m collaborating with my buddies Kerstin and Shannon to share voices of women in language with this event.
