Interests: I am a very "laid back" person with a tremendous, yet well balanced, sense of humor who believes in people being comfortable in whatever environment they find themselves in.

I am a logical thinker and I attempt to always be pragmatic and practical when involved in any situation ... knowledge is great but if one doesn't know how to use it, it's worthless.
I prefer to keep things as simple as possible. This aids in the learning process as well as the retention of information.
I have lived and worked in many cultures, environments and countries. This life has provided me with a vast wealth of experiences and involvement in a diverse array of circumstances from which I draw on for understanding others and their motivations.

I have had a very varied and exciting career; and I have among other things run my own businesses, and worked as a project and programme manager within complex IT and infrastructure programmes. I am happy to share my CV if you would like to see this.
Interests: I’d like to tell you a little about myself and why I love to teach English.
I teach adults and older students and nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing how helping with English can make such a difference. This can be with practical language skills; or with business English and learning the language and presentation skills to find a dream job, get that promotion you really want, or to go it alone as an entrepreneur!
I have lived and worked in England, near to Brighton, for most of my life, although I now split my time between living in England and a very peaceful part of Bulgaria!
As well as teaching, I have had a very varied and exciting career; and I have among other things run my own businesses, worked as a project and programme manager within complex IT and infrastructure programmes, sold fruit and vegetables, and volunteered for many incredible projects. My professional experience makes me very suitable for a wide range of language teaching.
I am also a qualified, fully insured coach and therapist and I work with people from all backgrounds to increase their confidence and overcome their anxieties, phobias, and even physical pain.
I love travelling, food and cooking, health and fitness, books, music, spending time with my friends or my dogs, and heading off into the wilderness for a few days.
Please get in touch if you want to find out how I can help.
