I am a native English speaker from the United Kingdom, currently living in Cumberland, UK.
I love books, libraries, and language learning.
I have been teaching English for nearly six years and enjoy being on Cafetalk.
At the University of St Andrews, I studied English Literature, and Medieval History, and the historical language of Anglo-Saxon.
Over the years, I have learnt other languages myself, German, Latin, and Old English, which I believe gives me an insight into the challenges which students face. In my spare time, I enjoy translating the languages which I have learnt.
I have a TEFL/TESOL qualification on teaching English as a foreign language.
I have lived in different parts of Britain, from Scotland to Oxfordshire, and I enjoy being outdoors, and exploring the countryside wherever I am living.
I have travelled, by train and ferry, from Oxford, UK, to Moscow, Russia, via Brussels and Berlin, and across Poland and Belarus. I stayed in Moscow for two weeks, and I understand how crucial languages are.
Two of my popular lessons are reading books with students, English literature: light and English literature: advanced. This is a nice way to practise English, following a story with somebody over a period of time.
If you would like to chat but cannot think of a topic, then my lessons on British food and cookery are perfect for that!
Please note, I only offer lessons to adult students. Lessons are never recorded.
I have some students who prefer not to use the video camera. If this is the case, then just ask!
