Damien Herlihy

Damien Herlihy has been a vlogger for Pavilion ELT since December 2019. His vlog posts draw upon his experiences as a teacher, teacher trainer and school owner, and take into account what his teachers have found most useful as well as his own learning experiences. His vlog posts have been in a number of themed series including: professional development; how methodology books have influenced his teaching practices; and the internet as a virtual textbook and cater to teacher and teacher trainers working in face-to-face, classes, teaching live online or doing a mix of the two in hybrid teaching. Damien has been teaching English for a little over 20 years, with 8 years of running his own language school in Thailand. He is a former IELTS-examiner, an award-winning teacher, and following his Masters in Teaching English as a Second Language, is also an online teacher, a journal article writer and a conference presenter. Alongside all of this, he has also been working on a website for students of English called English Riot and regularly writes blog posts, makes YouTube videos and produces a podcast for the site, and has juggled a move back to his native Australia.
