About

Get to Know Me!

I am ESL teacher currently working remotely from Scotland. I have worked in China and Myanmar and have experienced everything from boarding school in China to teaching Adults in Myanmar to private English tutoring.

I caught the travel bug in 2012 after spending 3 months living and volunteering in South Africa and from then spent my summers during university travelling to Morocco and Tanzania. I graduated in July 2017 after studying Communication Design in Scotland but decided that a desk job just wasn’t for me. That is when I decided to save up as much money as I could and travel for as long as I could. With a little help from my family and a 120 hour online TEFL course I set off for the big wide world of solo travel at the beginning of February 2018.

My TEFL adventure started in China teaching first grade full time for six months and then eighth grade full time for six months. I also tutored students from Kindergarten and fifth grade while living in China.

I then moved to Myanmar to work at NELC Xplore Language Centre teaching young learners and adults in-centre. I then worked online with the students through the pandemic.

In 2021 I moved home to Scotland but I have continued to work with the language centre in Myanmar remotely, taking on many roles over the past two years.

Since moving back home I have set about exploring everything Scotland has to offer! As someone who has always loved travel I have been to surprisingly few European countries so now I am taking every opportunity I can get to travel a bit closer to home.

There is adventure everywhere you look and I am always looking!

Where I’ve Taught

ESL Teacher Sanxin Bilingual School
(2018 – 2019)
I began my teaching journey in China teaching 40 – 50 students per class, 20 classes a week!

ESL Teacher NELC Xplore
(2019 – Present)
After an amazing year in China I spent 8 months teaching in Myanmar in a language centre in the centre of Yangon. I fell in love with my job and the country so returned in 2020 (after a 4 month break back to China and the UK) teaching online from Yangon until 2021 when I returned to Scotland. I continue to teach online from where ever I happen to be!
