My last full time teaching job was as the director of an international school in Cambodia but I've taught in Australia, the USA, Morocco, Thailand, Kenya, and Bangladesh too. I'm still a fully qualified teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience in English, outdoor education, and pastoral care. I'm always happy to walk and share my knowledge of North Cornwall with anyone who is interested in discovering this magical corner of England.
