About Me

Took the plunge to teach English at 30 having wanted to do it for quite some time. Now 38 and loving it.
I've just opened my own school and things are going fine - could always do with a few more students but who couldn't?
I became a father in 2006 which was singularly the greatest moment of my life. Every day since has been a joy. I can't wait to see which language she speaks first!
