I was born in England but now I live in rural France. I'm a keen linguist and I love sharing my language and culture with my students. When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking, walking in the countryside with my dog, listening to music, reading, writing materials, entertaining my friends, and scuba diving. I'm a singer; jazz, blues, and folk are my preferred genres. I have two children and spending time with them and my grandchildren is my definition of a perfect day!
