I'm a friendly, sociable person who likes meeting new people.  I am totally comfortable with people from different countries and have many foreign friends in London.

I'm well educated and, after my undergraduate degree, trained as an English teacher to overseas students.  I was for most of my career a language school principal.  I now teach English to foreign students, act as a language agent and offer proofreading services (English).

I have many interests including travelling, current affairs, sport (cricket), politics, architecture, different cultures, language, linguistics, socialising and the theatre, for example.

You will, I hope, find me approachable and helpful.  I will give you information to help you with your stay and you will find it in your room.  Of course, I will be there if you need any explanation or more details.  I look forward to meeting you!
