Hi! I'm Helen and I'm a qualified psychology teacher who now works two days per week teaching A Level at a comprehensive school in Sutton Coldfield. In addition I Tutor privately up to degree level and am an examiner. I was a full-time teacher until last Christmas when I decided to prioritise my hopes and dreams of being self-employed. So, from January 2016 I set up my own Holistic Therapy business which continues to grow day by day which I find super exciting...In my spare time I love to catch up with friends (some of whom live far away so I travel lots), watch captivating films and documentaries, cook up some organic vegan delights, learn more through reading, walking around my local park and generally relaxing on the sofa (which I will give up for those need of to surf for the evening!).

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite movies are those which are British made because I find the sense of humour makes me giggle that little bit more. As for books I'll give anything a whirl for the first chapter or so. Recent enjoyable reads include 'This book will save your life' and 'How to stay sane!'. I'm open to most styles of music but don't really resonante with rap.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Met the King of Swaziland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be more than happy to share a home cooked organic vegan meal with any couch surfers staying with me.
