About John
Since gaining my degree in the early 70s, I have lived, worked and travelled extensively in France. I helped set up and organise an American student travel company, which opened the door to France for countless teenagers to see more than just the Eiffel Tower. I also taught for a year in France as part of my degree, and did some additional teaching in the UK. As a tour guide, showing the American student groups the sights, but more importantly explaining to them French culture, their love of food and art, for example, I gained a lot of experience working with teenagers, which was extremely useful in creating the ethos of the company and its success. I have stayed involved with the company since I left the USA and moved back to the UK, where I now live with my family. I have taught my children some French, and continue to travel in France, which is as enjoyable as ever. University : - University of Sussex - French and European Studies [2nd Class Honours]

Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
John is intelligent, thoughtful, reflective and kind and an excellent communicator.
He is a fluent French speaker who taught for a year in a French school and has visited France every year of his adult life. He worked in Paris every year until recently. He has an excellent knowledge of the French language as well as a very good understanding of French culture.
He has wide ranging cultural interests and an appreciation and understanding of human nature. He is interested in other people and is able to empathise with those in different circumstances to himself. As a father of children in the late teens and early 20s he understands how young people function.I have known John for more than 10 years, initially as a personal friend and more recently as a colleague and fellow governor of Sheringham High School (which forms part of the North Norfolk Academy Trust chain of schools - of which I am a Trustee). I have the highest regard for John and would have no hestitation whatsoever in reccommending him both on a personal and a professional basis.
