"I am a retired scientist who has lived on Sanibel since 2004. After living in China for 1 year in 2009/2010, I decided to get certified to teach English as a second language by completing an online course.

I spent one month teaching English in Nepal, and since then have been teaching English locally. My students have been primarily from S. America, but have also come from Latvia, Lithuania, China and Puerto Rico.

I was born and educated in UK, have worked in the USA since 1974, and have both UK and USA citizenship. My graduate degree is in Food Science and it has enabled me to live and work in UK, USA, Canada and China. Now I want to offer my time to help others learn."
