Richard Flynn (Tdol)'s Profile

Co-Host & Editor of UsingEnglish.com

UsingEnglish.com is owned and run by Adam King and Richard Flynn.

Richard was born in England and has worked in English Language Teaching since 1983. He took a BA in English Language and Literature and an MA in TESOL, and has taught in universities, colleges, language schools and online while living in the UK, Portugal, Cambodia, Japan, the Philippines and Lao PDR.

In 2002, after writing some - now long-outdated - software for language learning, he set up UsingEnglish.com with Adam King, to facilitate contact and communication between learners and teachers and native speakers, while providing resources for teachers and learners to use freely.

As the site's Editor and primary content author, he works tirelessly to expand and improve on the content available to our community. He's responsible for reviewing all content submissions submitted by other contributors and as such acts as our gate-keeper, upholding our strict standards of quality.

He also writes the Editor's Blog, where he logs English usage that catches his eye or ear and looks at language issues that interest or puzzle him.
