Dr. Kevin Coffey works as a lecturer in International Relations, Artificial Intelligence & Ethics and Business English in Inseec U. London, which he joined in September 2017. Previous to this, he gained a PhD from University College Dublin in Politics & International Relations in 2015. He has worked across the globe in various educational institutions including University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, the University of Greenwich, the International Peace & Security Institute and Myonji University, Seoul as well as international institutions and NGOs such as the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the Coalition for the International Criminal Court. Kevin is committed to teaching practices which merge the theoretical and practical; for instance, empowering students to learn about complex theories and concepts through role play and experiental simulations. His lessons are geared towards achieving knowledge acquisition of the subject area, but also facilitating the acquisition of key transferable skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving.

Clement Grene did his undergraduate degree at Trinity College Dublin, his Master’s at Oxford University, and his PhD in Edinburgh University. While completing his doctorate, he also studied at the University of Tübingen in Germany and at the Institut Catholique in Paris. In between his Master’s and PhD, he worked as a writer and editor in Lebanon and as a teacher in Cairo. In addition to lecturing at INSEEC’s London campus, Dr Grene also works as a freelance writer in the field of education and a book reviewer. At INSEEC, he teaches courses on Business English, Teambuilding and Communication, World Religions, International Media Analysis, and Professional Writing. His approach to classroom teaching focuses on groupwork, presentations, role play, class debates, and individual exercises. These are designed to build up students’ confidence and enthusiasm by engaging them on a creative and imaginative level while developing skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, decision-making, research, and speaking, writing, reading, and listening abilities.

I have over 20 years’ experience in teaching English to non-native speakers. While I am happy to focus on things such as grammar, I find that students have most probably had a lot of tuition in that area already. As such, I use my course to look at areas of English which have probably not been given so much attention previously, and to encourage students to consider how native speakers use the language in their everyday lives. I believe this will not only benefit communication in English in a professional capacity, but also in a more informal, interpersonal way.
