Lindsay Clandfield, Course Tutor
Lindsay Clandfield is a teacher, trainer and author based in Spain. After finishing his Diploma at Oxford TEFL, Lindsay began writing materials for It's For Teachers and for Onestopenglish, which was just starting out at the time.
He has since written several books for language learners, most notably Straightforward (Macmillan) and contributed to other courses such as New English File (Oxford University Press). His first book for teachers was Dealing with Difficulties (Delta publishing, with co-author Luke Prodromou), which won critical acclaim in the profession as well as two international awards.
Lindsay then co-wrote The Language Teacher's Survival Guide with Duncan Foord and became series editor for the new Delta Teacher Development Series of books which include titles by Mario Rinvolucri, Scott Thornbury and Duncan Foord among others.
Lindsay still writes regularly for Onestopenglish and is currently working on another coursebook for adult language learners with Macmillan. He is a regular presenter at conferences and has given workshops to educators in more than 20 countries on four continents. Lindsay is a keen blogger, and you can read about more what's on his mind at the site www.sixthings.net, a miscellany of English Language Teaching.

Mark McKinnon, Course Tutor
Mark is one of the main tutors on the LTCL Diploma course. He has 15 years' experience in EFL teaching in Spain and his native Scotland. He has been based in Barcelona since 1998 where he has taught general and business English to a wide variety of students including many years of patient teaching with children and teenagers, which he actually quite liked. He has been a tutor on the LTCL Diploma in TESOL course in Barcelona since 2003 as well as tutoring on TESOL Certificate courses. He has written web-based activities for the Straightforward series by MacMillan and articles and activities for onestopenglish.com. He loves writing materials and gets quite excited about task design and Second Language Acquisition, but if pushed he would always say he preferred to be at the chalk-face of day-to-day teaching. So, he divides his time between this work and his EFL teaching post at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
Mark holds the LTCL Diploma which he attained at OxfordTEFL.
