Interests: I have always had a passion for learning languages and discovering new cultures. I was born and raised in the UK but I have lived abroad in Brazil and currently live in Barcelona. By day, I work as a software engineer and in my free time I like to hang out with friends, read, go to the cinema or theatre, visit museums or galleries and exercise. I have worked as a Callan method English teacher in Brazil, teaching both standard English and also specialised business English classes. I also worked as a volunteer English teacher in my hometown for a project that provided free English classes for immigrants and refugees. I also worked for a refugee charity in my hometown providing English classes for people who had recently moved and spoke little to no English.
