About the Author of Free Informative Speech Topics

About the author: 

Hi - my name is Lianne. I am incredibly passionate and  proud to be the webmaster of  www.find-the-words.com. I value effective communication and I have experienced first hand the incredible advantage of meaningful, productive and empathetic communication skills. It is both an honor and a privilege to assist you to find the right words, so that you can say it best!

I also welcome the opportunity to offer you some insight about the author [me] of the free informative speech topics  -   my qualifications, educational background and related work experience. I fully respect the fact that you'd like the author to at least be credible and knowledgeable when it comes to writing a free written speech that you may be able to personalize, adapt and make your own.

In terms of my formal qualification I have:

• an undergraduate degree in Education [B.Prim.Ed] where I majored in both English and Education
• a further post-graduate honors degree in Education [B.Ed]. 
• an additional major in Industrial Psychology.
• IELTS [International English Language Testing System] Certification awarded with distinction from the British Council moderated by the University of Cambridge

I have taught English to an incredibly broad and rewarding range of students:

• elementary school students
• high school students
• ESL students
• ESL adult literacy programs
• Corporate English programs
• students with limited English language proficiency from disadvantaged areas

My work experience has included:

• teaching English
• senior school management positions for a number of years - both in elementary and secondary schools
• school accreditation processes
• curriculum development
• presenting toastmaster courses and speech modules
• writing over 40 educational English books for both ESL an Mainstream English Students
• preparing and presenting a plethora of speeches to a wide range of audiences over a significant number of years
• initiating and implementing English Forums and presenting English skill related workshops

I am married to a School Principal and I also have two great teenage sons - so, boy, do I know about speeches for school too!

Words have always been my passion [sadly I can't say I have the same passion, actually aptitude, for  numbers ]. If words don't always come that easily to you, it would be most rewarding for me personally to know that my free written speech may have helped you in any way - however big or small.

Words of wisdom : "A word once flown, is swifter than any horse and it cannot be recalled."
