Hi, I am Anna.  I have been teaching English for five years. I am passionate about teaching English and working with students. I came back from London 4 months ago. I used to  work there as a primary teacher. I enjoyed teaching in London but I missed my family and friends.  If I had some free time I would go to the gym, listen to music, watch films or just do nothing.
