What is your favourite sport?

Cycling, running and calisthenics

 

What is your favourite food and (and what do you hate?)

You can’t beat a good old home-made pizza. I hate chicken korma – I need more spice in my life!

 

What TV shows or movies do you like?

I love the visual aspect of the film “The Fountain”, it’s very beautiful. For a TV series…I love dark Nordic crime thrillers!

 

What song do you love to play?

Favourite song is Rolex by Ayo and Teo – it always makes me want to dance.

 

What is your favourite book and why?

This is a really hard question! Ultimately I’m torn between two . One is Madam Bovary because I love Flaubert’s lyrical and visual style of writing.  The other is “Pan”. I discovered Knut Hamsun through Charles Bukowski’s admiration of John Fante’s work, particularly “Ask the Dust” which is derived from “Pan”. Again it is a very visual novel and beautifully written. The ending was amazing; I’ve never been so torn with an ending before!

Do you have any pets?

A golden retriever.

 

Do you have a favourite subject to teach and why?

Anything creative!

 

What inspired you to become a teacher?

I really enjoyed doing voluntary work with youth groups in my local community.

 

What was your New Year’s Resolution and did you keep it?

No idea, so let’s assume I kept it!
