I have been teaching languages for the last 24 years. I grew up in the UK and studied French & Spanish at University before deciding to become a teacher. I've lived in France, Spain and Belgium and love the diversity of different cultures. I taught in the UK for six years and then made my home in California in March of 2001. I live here with my husband and two children. I have a passion for learning and am excited to embark on a course with fellow educators to get new ideas to motivate my students.
