Biography
Trevor Carty entered the field of English Language Teaching some 25 years ago, having had a successful career as a Clinical Biochemist for a major pharmaceutical company in England. His wide ranging teaching experience and his background in industry affords something special to the classroom experience for learners. On coming to Singapore, Trevor was responsible for developing an English Program at a Business School allowing students to progress to the University's Hospitality Course on passing. He later taught at an International School and after only one semester, was promoted to Head of Department due to his innovative approach to student learning. Here at JCU, most of Trevor’s busy schedule is spent focused on managing and teaching the ELPP Level 3 Program.
