JamesO

Interests: My name is James. I have not always been an English teacher. I retired in 2017 and retrained as an English teacher, something that I've secretly wanted to do for many years. I hold a 150 hour TEFL certificate, as well as a certificate in IELTS preparation.
I also write, and have produced 23 books and numerous articles as a ghostwriter. William Shakespeare figures large on my bookshelp, along with Le Carre, and Tolkien, but I'm not just a bookworm, My other passions are the game Rugby (This sport is NOT the same as American Football, it's far more interesting), Travel has also been a large part of my life, having grown up in many parts of the world, and I am lucky enough to live in the beautiful country of Botswana (It's in Africa, by the way).
