  • Description

    Hi!

    My name is Sinéad and I am 43 years old. I am just starting an exciting new adventure in my life after teaching music in East London for 17 years. Now it is time to fulfil my lifetime ambition of learning to speak Italian while meeting new people and developing a variety of skills.

    I am originally from Belfast but have lived in England for most of my life. I am an easy-going person and enjoy laughing and having fun and sharing stories. I have a strong work ethic and am very hardworking and efficient. I like to complete jobs to a high standard and take pride in what I do. I am also very much a people person and get on well with pretty much everyone I meet. I enjoy conversations but also like peace and quiet and respect people’s space and privacy.

    My biggest passion in life is music - I play the piano, guitar and flute and love to sing! I also enjoy gardening, painting and decorating, and food (both cooking it and eating it). I am a clean and tidy person and when I am not working I enjoy reading, exercising, exploring new places and photographing goats. I don’t have a smartphone as I prefer the freedom of being disconnected from the pressures of social media as well as being able to rely on my sense of direction, and the kindness of strangers, to find my way around the world.
