I can teach English to an extremely high level, due to my degree in literature, and a career as a poet, writer and academic (and now I have done a 3 month long CELTA course run by Cambridge University to professionally teach the English language to foreign learners).I can teach Irish to a high level, as I grew up bilingual and fluently speaking Irish daily.I'm interested to learn Spanish and also French. Willing to exchange lessons :)

More details about your skills

So I have a Degree in English Literature with a 2:1 from University of Bristol UK, 5 years of experience in professional kitchens as a chef, in Amsterdam, Ireland and across the UK.
I also went backpacking for a year in Australia and 6 months in Amsterdam. I worked in 6 different hostels in Australia as a cleaner and around the hostel doing events. Bar work and reception work would be ideal for me to increase my skills.
I also have been swimming and surfing for a few years since I was a teen and I'm keen to get involved in water sports again after a long break.
