I’m originally from Manchester and have been a teacher since 1998. Before that I was a company director, running my own business, also in Manchester.  I’ve worked for the British Council since 2002 and really enjoy my teaching. I did my DELTA in 2004 and am a practising examiner for Cambridge ESOL and IELTS.  I plan to start an MA in 2006. Outside work I like reading, walking, travelling, and watching my favourite football team, Manchester United.  I am married but have no children.
