About Cynthia
I help people with their English. People enjoy working with me. I know this because I ask them, and they tell me as much.
I am an American originally from the New England state of New Hampshire. I have lived in Sweden since 2000 and have worked full-time as a professional general and business English trainer and consultant for a number of language companies in the Stockholm area.
I earned her Bachelor's of Science in Communication Disorders from Boston University and Master's of Arts in Audiology/Hearing Sciences from Northwestern University in Chicago. I then worked in the medical field in the US for five years before moving to Stockholm. I am certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (CTEFL) and Teaching Business English (CTBE). I also speak French fluently because of being brought up in a bilingual household (my mother is from Quebec, Canada) and am proficient in Swedish.
I started Cyntactic in 2004.
