My name is Louise and I live in a village called Codsall, in the Heart of England. I am 32 years old and I enjoy cycling, travel, badminton, roller skating, reading and listening to music. Codsall is very rural with Bridgnorth a short drive away.I live with my friend, Jackie and we have a pet Schitzu dog called Smartie.

Our Home

We live in a 3 bed room semi-detached house and our nearest city is Wolverhampton. We are a 2 minute walk to the railway station which goes straight to Wolverhampton and via Wolverhampton to Birmingham. We are also on a main bus route.

I began teaching in 1992 (Travel and Tourism) and I've taught English in Russia, India and Malaysia.

I have the following qualifications – BA (Further, Adult and Higher Education) and Trinity TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).

I am able to teach general and business English, presentation skills, travel and tourism and geography.

We live 45 minutes away from Birmingham International Airport and about 35 minutes away from Birmingham city centre.

We can offer the following facilities:

  • A car
