Danielle

I was born and educated in England but have lived in Sri Lanka for many years where I have been working on a charity project teaching English to students unable to afford classes. It has been both a highly rewarding and fascinating experience teaching students from many different cultural backgrounds. My classes have included students from China, Japan, Myanmar and Bangladesh who are often Buddhist monks and nuns who come to Sri Lankan universities to study religious texts using English as their common language.

I have five children. Two of them are still of school age. I also have a two year old grandson.

I am currently back in England where I now spend my time home schooling my youngest daughter, helping past students with their English, editing authors’ manuscripts and working as a publicist for authors.

I love to discuss philosophy, psychology and literature, especially poetry. I spend most of my free time training for the sprint events in athletics which is also a great passion for me.
