Profile

I am Scottish female and have been traveling and teaching in Asia since 2008. I have taught High School children in Thailand and I am currently teaching Kindergarten children in China. I have gained valuable experience and teaching methods during this time.

My work history before teaching was in the tourism and catering industry which also included elements of supervision and training.

I enjoy working as part of a team and I am highly self-motivated. I love to work with people and feel the skills I have learned in my previous jobs and experiences would be an asset to any future employment.
