Gilly Johnson has been a teacher and trainer for over twenty years. She has worked in many different contexts all over the world, teaching students, training teachers, speaking at conferences and has co-written and recently published her first book “Culture in our Classrooms” (publ DELTA 2010)

Gilly originally came to Buckswood to teach English Language at A level; a course she still teaches and loves. Later, she came to work in MFL where she has been, ever since, teaching French throughout the school and for the last three years, managing our ever-expanding Languages Department.

In her holidays she’s either to be found working on Pilgrims’ teacher training programmes in Canterbury, UK, or somewhere on the other side of the planet, running and assessing CELTA courses and teacher-training workshops. She enjoys speaking at conferences, is busy planning her next book and when she’s not doing any of these things, She likes to relax at home, entertaining guests, or spending time with her very patient husband, ‘hanging out’ with her (now grown-up) children, reading, chatting and chuckling with friends…. or sleeping!
