My parents are English and I grew up in South Africa, then lived in the United Kingdom for twenty years before coming to live in Italy. I have a degree in architecture but since moving here, nine years ago, I have been teaching English, both class work and one to one. I loved learning Italian and I enjoy the challenge of helping people to learn English, knowing as I do the challenges and joys of learning a second language. I enjoy getting to know people from different cultures and communicating across the world.
