Description
I have been living in Thailand for the past 12 years. I cam to Thailand as a traveller but in 2011 I joined a volunteer project in the North East, I went there for a visit but ended up staying there for a full year. During my time there I got involved in many different activities including teaching kids after school, trash awareness and helmet safety.
It was from this project that I discovered a love for teaching. since then I have been teaching in various schools and after school learning centres mosttly teaching English but also teaching computers in an international school for a couple of years.
Before moving to Asia I worked in computer industry for a university in the UK.

I have been an English teacher for the past 11years. I have taught all ages from very young to adults in anything from 1 to 1 situations to large class sizes of over 100. I also spent a couple of years teaching computers in an international school teaching Word Excel Photoshop and web design amongst other software
In the UK a previously worked as network manager for a UK university so I have good knowledge of both computer hardware and software.
I have a love for both cats and dogs, back in the UK I used to have 2 cats when I was living there and I enjoy contact with animals.
I have volunteered before as I previously mentioned and I loved meeting like minded people from all over the world during my volunteering time.
