More details about my language interests
I'm an English expert so I'm more than happy to help people out, whether through formal lessons or just conversations. I've been learning Japanese on and off for a few years, so would love to practice and learn more. Languages in general fascinate me, so I'm always happy to learn something new!

More details about your skills

I have a degree in English and have been working freelance as a writer, editor, and proofreader for about ten years. I also have a TEFL certificate in the hopes of travelling to teach English! I love to read and write.

I've worked with children for most of my life, mentoring younger kids in various sports and activities when I was still in school, working in after-school and school holiday programmes during university, and coaching sports for various age groups including gymnastics, swimming, martial arts, and rock climbing.

I love to learn new things and I'm a quick learner, so I'm always happy to pick up something interesting!

What else ...

I currently work in a Leisure Centre teaching Rock Climbing, Archery, Raft-Building, Orienteering, and High Ropes courses - I'm not an amazing climber myself, but I have a blast trying and I'm a great belayer.

I spent years training and competing in ITF Taekwon-Do before 'retiring' after we were closed for COVID lockdowns, due to work and other interests getting in the way.
