Sophie Johnson graduated from the University of Melbourne, where she read for her BA degree in English, Philosophy, French and Modern Government before continuing to MA studies in Philosophy. She took post-graduate Diplomas in education from the Hawthorn Institute of Education (Dip.Ed) and from the Royal Society of Arts (Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adults). A long-time employee of the Education Department of Victoria at its Distance Education Centre, author of The Stuff of Argument and freelance editor, she supplemented her Australian professional life with several working visits to the UK, where she taught for the Kent, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire Local Education Authorities, wrote for the Meno Thinking Skills Service, a University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate, and worked as a freelance editor for several commercial publishers of teaching texts. She is currently the proprietor and principal tutor of English Grammar Tutor. Having posted her work, the grammar book The Well Bred Sentence, on this site in mid-2001, she now hopes to find time to complete her new work, Spelling Facts. A committed grammarian, she welcomes all discourse on linguistics and undertakes to be gracious when felled by friendly fire. Return to About Us |
