About Me
italki teacher since Nov 19, 2019InterestsBusiness & FinanceEnvironment & NatureTravelHistoryPets & Animals
Having lived in the English countryside & Spanish metropole, I'm currently in the South African savanna. I have a 16-year-old son & Economist husband, many wild birds I feed at the pear tree, wild snakes (Boomslang) to look out for, and baboons (Chamca) to chase away until New Year's Eve when the pears are ready.
I like walking my Malamute & German Shepherd dogs, watching the sunset and rise, dabbling at gardening, and keeping abreast of current affairs. I love teaching and have an interest in Sociology.Me as a Teacher
I put you at ease, quickly identify weaknesses, give helpful advice, and great materials for self-study and have all the competencies expected of the best teachers. Clients say I'm sophisticated, kind, nice, compassionate, encouraging, nurturing, positive and culturally aware.
I'm a Native British Speaker with Received Pronunciation.
