Màiri teaches English as a foreign language at the University of Bologna, Italy. Originally from the UK, Màiri began her teaching career in Spain in 2001.  Since then she has taught students at all levels and ages, and worked at the British Council as well as the University of Barcelona. She was also a Cambridge examiner for many years.  

Màiri began teaching online during the pandemic and became fascinated with Artificial Intelligence for teaching and learning purposes as soon as it came out.  To encourage her students to work autonomously – but responsibly - she began to experiment with prompts so they could practise their English on their own.  Her students loved these prompts so much that she decided to publish a collection.

Màiri's qualifications include:

Italian MA Hons from The University of Edinburgh

Cambridge CELTA from Stevenson College, Edinburgh

Cambridge Delta Modules 1 & 2 from The Cambridge School, Verona

Cambridge Delta Module 3 from International House, London

Master’s in Education in TESOL (EAP) from Sheffield Hallam University
