兴趣: As an English teacher with more than 12 years experience, I am comfortable helping students from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds, who speak varied native languages. Both language and travel are my passions, and as a learner of Spanish and Portuguese, I understand the challenges of language learning and the need for a good teacher! I have travelled to 40 countries so far, and have lived in 6: the U.K., Ecuador, Venezuela, Australia, Portugal and Saudi Arabia. As a result, I have plenty of travel stories to share and am always keen to learn about my students' cultures and lifestyles. I also work in complementary therapies and mental health, so enjoy talking about strategies that can reduce stress and help people cope with the challenges of modern fast living. In my free time, I enjoy travel, being in nature, hiking, meditation, spiritual practices and reading.
