About Me
italki teacher since Nov 19, 2019InterestsScienceTravelEnvironment & NatureTechHistory
Having lived in both the English countryside and a vibrant Spanish metropolis, I now make my home in the South African savanna.
I am happily married to an Economist. We have a 17-year-old son, as well as numerous wild birds to feed, Chacma baboons to deter from fruit trees, and snakes such as Boomslang, Cape Cobra, and Puff Adder to be cautious of.
I enjoy taking my Malamute and German Shepherd dogs for walks, watching the mesmerising African sunsets, dabbling in gardening and keeping abreast of current affairs.
Teaching is my passion, and I have a strong interest in Sociology, Scientific Methodologies, Research and Solutions.Me as a Teacher
Clients say: I'm kind, nice, sophisticated, compassionate, encouraging, nurturing, positive and culturally aware; I put you at ease, quickly identify weaknesses, give helpful feedback, use great materials and posit all the competencies expected of the best of teachers.
I'm a Native British Speaker with Received Pronunciation.
