Taught secondary school children, focusing on topics such as grammar, culture and increasing one's confidence whilst speaking. I encouraged a holistic approach in order to expand the knowledge and skill set of my students.
Interests: I love to stay fit and active, and I am constantly looking to learn new and interesting things. I love to play football, swim and I have recently started cross country running as a way to improve my stamina (and more importantly get out of the house, as lock-down and the lovely British winter weather has meant I have spent most of the time indoors.) Apart from sport I spend a lot of time reading (books on Philosophy, fiction and history) as well as gardening, cooking and DIY.
