ABOUT ME
Malcolm Pemberton
English language and communication skills trainer.
malcolm.pemberton@gmail.com
I was born in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England, in 1953, but lived in many parts of the UK as I grew up. I have worked in many roles as diverse as bus driver, hotel concierge and building supplies delivery driver.
For the past fourteen years I have been teaching English to engineers, businessmen, bankers and many others. I teach skills such as negotiating, giving presentations, and email writing, and I have also done work checking the English pages of websites, and proofreading a great variety of documents, from contracts to menus. I really like this kind of work, because I have a sharp eye for mistakes (or for just plain bad style;-).
As regards my free-time activities, now that I have lived in Finland for twenty-two years, and in Vaasa for nineteen, I naturally love sailing, walking and biking and just being out in the countryside. Vaasa is such a great place to live. The sea and forest are on one’s doorstep, yet all modern conveniences are right at hand.
As regards my family, I am married to a Finnish woman and we have two children. My wife owns her own translation company here in Vaasa – it’s name is tpt (Taina Pemberton Translations).
