Stuart spent several years as a teacher of English for Academic
and Professional Purposes to medical practitioners, nurses and other
health professionals at institutions of Higher Learning in Southern
Asia and the Far East. He was twice honoured for his work in The
People's Republic of China, where he was awarded the official title of "Excellent Foreign Expert".
Throughout his extensive
travels, Stuart was intrigued by the ways in which different
cultures perceive human interaction and after returning to the United
Kingdom, he undertook a comparative study of Western and Oriental
Politeness Strategies.The wide
variety in native-speaker English also captured Stuart's imagination
and inspired his quest to identify the defining features of a
Standard English Grammar.
A former Registered Mental Nurse,Stuart developed a particular interest in the unconventional linguistic patterns associated with Schizophrenia. As an undergraduate, he explored how individuals living with schizophrenia might use language in novel and unconventional ways.He highlighted the importance of listening closely to utterances that may at first seem unusual, but are not be dismissed as meaningless.
After returning to his roots in the North of
England, Stuart taught English to migrant workers from Africa, The
Middle East, Southern Asia and Central Europe. Stuart's ambition is to
encourage people from all walks of life to become confident in their
use of English. He welcomes enquiries
from all learners regardless of background or ability.
