I am forty years old, rather tall and I have blue eyes and short black hair.
I wear casual clothes as I teach students in a relaxed atmosphere. I enjoy
my job because I get to meet and help so many different people from all
over the world. During my spare time, I like playing tennis which I play at
least three times a week. I also love listening to classical music and I must
admit that I spend a lot of money on buying new CDs! I live in a pretty
seaside town on the Italian coast. I enjoy eating great Italian food and
laughing with the likable people who live here.
