Andrew Woodbury, Enrollment Advisor

Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m from Toronto, Canada, where I teach academic writing courses at universities. There, I work with newcomers to Canada who are enrolling in Bachelor and Graduate programs.

My background is in language education, which is how I met Marek over ten years ago. We worked together then and it seemed natural to join his team at Academic English Now.

When I’m not teaching, I’m watching sports or reading a book. My top three recommended reading list:

Atomic Habits by James Clear
On Writing by Stephen King
What is the What by Dave Eggers

Khalilah Nelson, Client Success Manager

Hi, I’m Khalilah!

Over the past decade I have worked with many students at various levels of tertiary education. More recently, since 2019, I have been working within a Ph.D program through which I have served as an academic mentor to various students covering many academic fields.

I am an avid reader and enjoy gaining knowledge and interacting with others so this position really plays to my strengths. I look forward to being able to support you on your journey and getting to know each one of you.

Hayden Godfrey, Client Success Manager

Hi, I’m Hayden. I am a Harvard Visiting Fellow and a Researcher in education, specializing in Research Design and Methodology, Intellectual Humility and Higher Education. As an Oxford graduate with distinction, I have published on funded research projects in leading journals like Frontiers, in collaboration with Harvard and Oxford Graduate Schools of Education. With a rich background of six years in teaching English, including a focus on Academic English at the Royal College of Art, I am deeply dedicated to promoting educational equity for international students.

My academic excellence has been internationally recognized through prestigious awards. Notably, I am a recipient of the Fulbright All Disciplines Scholarship, one of the most competitive funding scholarships globally. I have also received scholarships from the Australian government and Oxford University’s Department of Education to conduct research in the field of Education.

Lynn Nicks-McCaleb, Client Success Manager

Hi, I’m Lynn and I’m from Brighton, England. I’m a Client Success Manager at Academic English Now.

I have a doctorate in Education, plus experience gained during an interesting career teaching English in Sweden, England and the United Arab Emirates, where I was Dean of a college.

In my leisure time, I enjoy:

Travelling and discovering new places
Long mountain hikes with my dogs
Italian cooking… and then eating it!

Margarita Monge-Morera, Client Success Manager

Hi, I’m Margarita and I’m from Costa Rica. I’m a Client Success Manager at Academic English Now. I have a PhD in bioscience engineering from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium, where I also worked as a postdoc for over two years. I have supervised several master’s and PhD students, and I am familiar with the challenges associated with the scientific publication process.

I have published many research papers but one publication I am especially proud of is this one, as it made it to the cover of Biomacromolecules, Q1 journal in bioengineering, IF 6.9.

During my free time, I enjoy:

Cooking and baking for others
Doing yoga
Listening to podcasts about science and personal development

Latanya Hughes, Client Success Manager

Hi, I’m Latanya. I am a Floribian (native Floridian with Caribbean roots). I earned my doctorate in Leadership from Regent University. I have also served in higher education for more than a decade and have enjoyed supporting students from all kinds of backgrounds and ages. In recent years, I have supported researchers in achieving their PhD and research goals as a Dissertation Chair.

For fun, I enjoy:

beading jewelry
baking and cooking (my kitchen is my happy place)
relaxing by the beach (#saltlife #beachday).

Maja Glock, Enrollment Advisor

Hi, I’m Maja. Originally from Denmark, I’ve lived in Spain for over 20 years. My passion for helping others began with studying social work in Denmark. Teaching English as a second language to Spanish children, teens, and adults for over 15 years has been my rewarding journey, assisting thousands in achieving their language goals.

I love languages and traveling, and I’m fluent in Danish, German, English, and Spanish.

The reason why I joined Academic English Now is to contribute to assisting people worldwide reaching their goals. I find it very rewarding to see how people succeed with the right guidance, right support and right attitude.

Outside teaching, life in Spain is an adventure. My van takes me to new places, and I love paddle surfing at the beach, listening to podcasts, and I’ve recently taken an interest in “spikeball.”
In my free time, you’ll find me engaged in meaningful chats with friends, going on long hikes, staying active, and enjoying moments with candles, a good film, or a book, especially with a glass of Spanish wine.

Ricardo Bruns, Enrollment Advisor

Hi, I’m Ricardo, originally from Brazil.

I’ve been an English teacher for a solid twenty years, with focus on English for Specific Purposes, including Academic and Business English.

Over the years, I’ve consistently provided tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of my clients. Joining the Academic English Now team has allowed me to continue this commitment while supporting academic professionals in achieving their international and professional communication goals.

In addition to that, I’m a keen bicycle enthusiast and a bass-baritone choir singer. Enjoying time with my family, getting to know new people, traveling and having good food is part of my main menu, too.

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing a personalized action plan to help you achieve your academic goals as soon as possible!
