I’m British and have been living and teaching English in France since 1981. Once I became bilingual I started teaching French. Having had to learn that language myself helped me anticipate the difficulties my students would face.

I’m now retired from teaching on a full-time basis, but offer lessons by SKYPE. Details and fees here: http://efl-fle-chezvous.monsite-orange.fr/


I also share my worksheets on eslprintables.com and you’ll find some on busyteacher.org too. I’ve uploaded several videos on YOUTUBE so why not subscribe to my page to see the others: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL8O2cPGHYI
