About Me

Val
As a Biology, Chemistry, EFL teacher, Scuba Diving Trainer and Educational Technology enthusiast, I've been involved in education for over 19 years. I love language learning and speak Italian and Spanish (Dele C1). I have completed a BSc in Microbiology, PgDip Information Technology, CELTA, DELTA, MA in TESOL with a specialism in Educational Technology, PGDE and now teach high school Biology, Chemistry and Science. I have lived and taught in the UK, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Vietnam, Thailand, Qatar and the Netherlands. My other hobbies include cycling, travelling, football and reading. I’m fascinated by the underwater world and aquatic life. I learned to dive with BSAC and I am a PADI MSDT EFR instructor with Nitrox, U/W Photography, Deep Diving, Wreck Diving and Underwater Navigator Instructor specialities. I try to participate in as many recreational dives as possible and enjoy taking friends to try scuba diving.
