Description
I am a qualified teacher of English as a foreign language (Cambridge - CELTA), and love teaching keen students of all ages. I've taught in Morocco, Togo and refugees in the UK.
I am also a keen gardener, and am particularly interested in projects that support the nature recovery we desperately need. I have my own allotment, and have founded three eco-restoration projects in the UK. I am very keen to learn from others, and be part of their initiatives. I know how difficult it can be to fulfill a dream!
I am flexible and easy-going - don't need luxury, but do need access to WIFI. Sociable, but not a party person, a keen walker and swimmer.
