Teaching English in China was a very rewarding job and I am excited about teaching again in a new country. I built strong relationships with my fellow Chinese teachers and the students were fantastic. I am looking to start a new career teaching English overseas and to make an impact on my students lives. I want to be remembered as one of the best English teachers they have ever had and to give them the confidence and ability to read, write and speak English at an exceptional level.

INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES

I have a real passion for rock-climbing and mountaineering which has taken me to some amazing places around Europe. Last year I successfully summited the highest mountain in Scandinavia which is called the Galdhoppigen and located in Norway. Last year I went climbing in the Alps where I successfully summited two 4000M peaks. This was completed without a guide and having no previous alpine climbing experience. During my time spent in the Alps I completed many high graded sport rock climbing routes were completed in and around the resort of Chamonix.
