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!
