I have been teaching English for 25 years and started teaching in Lisbon in 1993. I have also taught in UK and Turkey. I have a Certificate in Teaching English to Adults and have worked extensively in educational management.

I set up yourTime in Lisbon this year and am very interested in giving students lots of opportunities to speak English outside the classroom.

I love exploring Portugal and am especially fond of the Alentejo countryside and the delicious food!

I have been teaching English since 1999 in Portugal, Spain and in the UK. I have taught students of all ages and want them to enjoy the experience of learning English with me. I have recently just taken on the role of Coordinator for adult courses in Porto!

In what little free time I do have I love watching my beloved Liverpool FC on the television at home. I also love reading, both fiction and non-fiction, catching the odd movie, and playing with my kids.
