Anna Letitia Cook

British born and bred, a passionate globetrotter, I love exploring and embracing new cultures.  Before setting up this business I worked for 25 years in oil/petrochemical, defence, stockbroking, international investments and commercial real estate (including castle/country hotel sales and renovations) in several countries in Europe, namely, UK, Spain, France, Italy, as well as the other side of the pond, Canada, USA and particularly Bermuda!

Cook Business English developed from having taught colleagues and clients for years in the various countries where I worked, leading me to change career and become a TEFL-TESOL teacher, specialising in Business English.

Other core competencies:  I am also an International Business Skills Coach as well as a ‘Speak Like a Native’, Genuine Language Fluency Coach using and introducing the visionary OPAL Methodology developed by Yves Thevenot.

I originally studied Business Management & Marketing (with options Politics, Economics, Translating/Interpreting).  As well as my native English, I speak Spanish, French and some Italian.

When I’m not working, I’m relaxing in a lovely longère in the heart of Brittany with my Breton other half. He is a fanatical marathon-runner which means we regularly get to visit other countries so he can run his legs off while I take photos and sip coffee! Now that I no longer do exciting sports such as eventing and diving, I try to keep fit and supple with pilates, ballet and yoga as well as the far more leisurely excercise of digging, weeding, pottering in my garden and roaming the countryside.  My greatest fun is descending on my children, family and friends for some really wonderful moments in their company.

Looking forward to having more contact with you and would be delighted to connect on  Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. Do come and say Hello!
