About Me

My name is Carol Jardine. Born and educated in Scotland, I am an experienced English Teacher and Career Coach with a unique blend of ‘hands on business experience’ gained in the City of London. I was Managing Director of an Executive Recruitment firm, Whitney Selection and Principal of my own Executive Search and Career Coaching consultancy, Jardine Kelso. I also worked with London Business School in establishing Libra Management Group, a management training company, in the former Czechoslovakia, and later as a Career Coach for newly graduated MBAs and Sloan Fellows.

In 2008, I qualified as a CELTA teacher, and changed career. I have subsequently gained over 12 years of teaching English as a foreign language in three continents – in both a business and an academic environment.

I have written and taught tailored English and soft skill training programmes for International Law and Accountancy firms in Vietnam, Laos and Turkey including presentation, negotiating and report writing. In the Far East, I also designed Hospitality English syllabi for the Intercontinental and Centara Hotel Groups in Ho Chi Minh City and Koh Samui.

In 2012, I moved to Istanbul and commuted between Asia and Europe to teach Academic English at the prestigious Bogazici University, before moving to Slovenia ın 2017. I currently work in Ljubljana, with a wide variety of students teaching Business English, IELTS , and Conversational English , either in a group or on an individual basis. In Ljubljana I run weekly Group and One-One classes, alongside Presentation and Report Writing skills courses for AZN.

I also coach school children and students, where I focus on speaking, writing and presentation skills. I firmly believe that interactive speaking and listening provide the most effective method of learning and gaining confidence in spoken English.

I host conversation groups for advanced speakers, and we discuss a wide range of topics, from parallel universes to cultural differences, including Book and Cinema Clubs. Excellent for improving vocabulary and fluency.

In addition, I provide Career Coaching for people wanting to work or study abroad, in the form of effective CV writing, interview technique, and achieving the optimum IELTS grades for work or study overseas.
