Personal Profile:
I am a graduate in Business Studies and Combined Science BA (HONS) from the elite University of the West of England, Bristol.
I have previous experience of teaching English. I taught at 2 academies in Ulsan, South Korea. I enjoyed it immensely and now I have returned home to England I am looking for a new challenge in a China so I can experience a new interesting country and its culture. I have identified Qingdao as a city I would like to work and live in as it is a clean coastal city. I want to learn to sail in my free time and enjoy the fresh seafood.
I have experience coaching children football and cricket and found that I adapted easily to teaching. I want to contribute significantly to my students learning. I want my students to enjoy my lessons and participate in them. From teaching in South Korea I understand how important presentation and preperation is to a lesson.
I am 31 years old, 180 cm tall and 77 kg in weight.
