Hello everyone! 

I am a native English speaker from the North East of Scotland, currently living in Glasgow. I love learning about new places and have spent 3+ years working and volunteering abroad, including a year spent studying in Malaysia. I have since worked and travelled in Central and South America whilst learning Spanish, so I know how it feels to adapt to a new place and language. I believe that cultural exchange is key to enjoying language learning - which basically means - I can’t wait to get to know you, and hear your stories!

I have been teaching adults and children since 2016, across a variety of subjects. My most recent highlights include: 

• 1+ years teaching an online academic skills course to young adults for Glasgow University. 

• 2+ years teaching and mentoring new student leaders at the University of Arts London. 

• Teaching English in 2024 to children aged 8-18 in Cañar, Ecuador.

My knowledge of English, academic skills and university life, is underpinned by my MSci (distinction) in International Relations and Global Issues, from the University of Nottingham. I am also currently completing an MLitt in Creative Writing at the University of Strathclyde, with a predicted distinction. I also have training in supporting neurodiverse students and students with disabilities.

In my spare time I love reading, writing and going to the cinema. Scotland is a very beautiful country and I like to go hiking in the mountains, when the weather allows! Scotland also has some unique cultural traditions that I love to talk about. I currently work with lots of international students and multicultural communities in Glasgow and, the good news is, they all say my Scottish accent is very soft and easy to understand!

大家好！

我是一位来自苏格兰东北部的英文母语者，目前住在格拉斯哥。我热爱认识新地方，曾在海外工作与志工服务超过三年，其中一年是在马来西亚留学。之后我也曾在中美与南美旅行与工作，同时学习西班牙语，因此非常了解适应新环境与新语言的感受。我相信「文化交流」是享受语言学习的关键——也就是说，我非常期待认识你，听听你的故事！

自2016年以来，我一直教授成人与儿童，涵盖各类主题。最近几个重点经历包括：

• 超过1年在格拉斯哥大学教授线上学术技能课程，对象为青年成人

• 超过2年于伦敦艺术大学教导并指导新任学生领袖

• 2024年于厄瓜多的卡尼亚（Cañar）教授8至18岁儿童英语

我对英语、学术技能与大学生活的理解，建立在我于诺丁汉大学获得的「国际关係与全球议题」硕士学位（荣誉）之上。目前我也正在史特拉斯克莱大学（University of Strathclyde）修读「创意写作硕士」（MLitt），预计以优异成绩毕业。同时，我也受过支持神经多样性学生及身心障碍学生的专业训练。

闲暇时，我喜欢阅读、写作与看电影。苏格兰是个非常美丽的国家，天气允许时我常去登山健行。苏格兰也有许多独特的文化传统，我很乐于与人分享。目前我与许多国际学生及多元文化社群合作，值得一提的是，他们都说我的苏格兰口音非常柔和、容易理解！
