Hans has spent his career teaching English and business communication at levels ranging from primary schools to university level, as well as writing and publishing textbooks for the same (see publications). He also has many years of management experience in higher education and the publishing world. His combined experience of teaching and management enables him to look at communication and teaching challenges from both sides of the educational coin: creativity in development and design, on the one hand, and efficient and practical outcomes necessary for the successful running of a classroom on the other. He has lots of experience with students from different cultures. Hans has an MA degree in English language, linguistics and professional translation, and holds various teaching qualifications. He is a member of IATEFL and web resources editor as well as membership and finance officer for IATEFL's Young Learners Special Interest Group.
