Hi, I'm a 21 year old Irishman currently living in newtownards, about 30 mins from belfast

I can sing for you, teach you the basics of swing, tango, and salsa dance, speak in English and Spanish, talk about history (my degree subject), have some laughs.

I play the recorder, cello, and saxophone.

I am making a chatbot which helps English teachers pick an online school -
