Cee Oginni

I have travelled to Costa Rica for 3 months, teaching English and improving my Spanish. I have travelled to St Lucia and worked with the Spanish speaking community there preaching voluntarily.

Memorable experiences: I was in New York in 2001 when the Twin Towers fell, the most life-changing and dramatic experience of my life. It was a such a proundly sad time, but amazing to see human beings coming together in love and compassion to help all those affected.

Memorable experiences: Travelling to the most beautiful rainforests in Costa Rica and meeting indigenous tribespeople and sharing English with them. Also holding a toucan was pretty special too!

I love different accents and I can pretty much do most English/Scottish dialects...I'm particularly good with slang and colloquial or local terms...so I can help you stealth into any part of English culture; right from the Queen's English...to the streets of South London!
