Jenny

A highly qualified and richly experienced teacher, who loves to share my own passion for learning. Alongside my teaching of ancient and modern languages and humanities, I have been enthusiastically engaged in research on ancient manuscri pts. I have a PhD and a post-doctoral diploma and have published widely. I am often invited to teach abroad and to speak at international conferences. I enjoy spending time in musical activities (piano playing, singing), gardening and hill-walking. I am a lively, physically fit and highly organised person, with excellent communication skills, and I always bring creativity and a sense of humour to whatever I do. I instinctively seek to communicate my positive and optimistic outlook to the children I teach. A bilingual English and French speaker, I can also communicate in several other European languages. DBS certificate and excellent references.
