About Me

I would describe myself as active, easy-going, curious and friendly. In 2015 I finished my master's in teacher traning and for the last 6 years I have been teaching English at secondary school. So it was quite a task to study at the same time as working full time so I am over the moon that it is over. :-) Saying that, I met some fantastic people at uni and learn a lot not only about English. (Forgive me to talk on and on about education, that's what teachers do.) :-D
In the past I lived in England (in the city of York) for 5 years and I guess that's where my love for adventure, new cultures and the English language come from. I love to travel but when I am at home I go horse riding, skating, swimming, running. In winter I go skiing or to sauna. A bit of a sports junkie I guess. For the quieter and more relaxing times I enjoy a good read.

PHILOSOPHY

When there is a will, there is a way.

Interests

As I have said, I am a sports junkie so I do many sports regularly as well as trying new activities when I have a chance. Since I live in central Europe, there are different sports to try in the 4 seasons so I never get bored.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since it's very fresh experience, I am glad that I managed to finish my studies while working full time. It was not an easy ride.
Now, I want to concentrate on exchange programs with my students and get a partnership with a school abroad.
