Hello!

Hello, my name is Grethe (Greta) and I am a London based professional actor, storyteller and qualified Level 5 - TEFL teacher. Over the years I have been fortunate to have travelled the world performing and teaching English through the medium of storytelling and drama. I have over 20 years experience working with young children and I love incorporating stories, games, rhyme and song into my sessions to make them relaxed and playful, yet still covering the needs of the students.

I consider myself an international person, being of mixed heritage (Danish/Sri Lankan) and having lived in London since I was very young. I love meeting people from all over the world, learning about different places, cultures and languages. I love dancing, singing, reading, writing and knitting and I am learning to play the Ukulele. My main way of relaxing is going for long walks - I aim for 10km every day if time permits.
