À propos
Hello! I’m a qualified teacher from Cape Town, South Africa, now living in Lyon, France. I’m also British and have over four years of experience teaching English online to students from around the world.
I’m a friendly and positive person who loves helping others grow in confidence and achieve their goals. I also love learning new things myself and discovering different cultures and ways of life. Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors, running and sports, trying new recipes, and relaxing with a good coffee and a book.
