Alison from Britain/Germany

Hello, my name is Alison and I live in Germany and have been teaching English for the past ten years. I was born in London to a Welsh family and grew up in Herefordshire, a county on the Welsh border. I trained as a classical ballet dancer and spent fifteen years dancing around theatres in Germany and Austria before getting married and having three wonderful children.
For the past 25 years I have been writing reviews for Dance Europe, a monthly dance magazine that covers ballet and contemporary productions from all over Europe and beyond. Apart from that I also work in the German school system looking after students in the after school clubs helping them with their English and French homework. I enjoy reading, walking, theatre and art, in fact anything cultural interests me, and of course languages!

Dear Luisa,
Please donā€˜t worry about it, I have sent a message to the team explaining what happened and asked what the trouble was and how we can sort it out but I wonā€˜t get an answer until Monday. Iā€˜ll be very happy to tutor you again so hopefully it will work out for a time next week. Have a good weekend and see you soon. Best wishes, Alison

Hy Alison,
we will meet on Friday. I’m looking forward to our live lesson. It’s a pleasure to learn with a classical ballet dancer. My husband and I are great Opera fans. I love ā€œLa Traviataā€, my husbands favorite opera is ā€œIl barbiere di Sevillaā€. We saw this opera on his 50th birthday in Scala in Milano Italy. It was amazing. The season 2020/2021 should be our first ballet season but Corona kills all our phantastic plans.
Have a good time and stay safe!
