I'm a retired teacher, well qualified academically (with a first-class honours degree & a doctorate), a native speaker of English, with many years of experience in teaching English to all age-groups & at levels up to and including university. I should like to help people with their learning in English and receive some help and encouragement with languages in which I am interested. Anyone with similar or complementary interests is welcome to contact me. My own interests are music (classical), literature, current affairs, European culture & cultural history, art history, cooking, countryside – and, of course, education (and the history of education).
