Hi, I'm Victoria, your teacher. I've been working at A.C.E Manly since September 2008. I really love working at A.C.E. because I have fantastic students!

Originally, I come from Bradford, which is a city in the north of England. Bradford is the sixth largest city in England and is a very multi-cultural city with lots of people from all over the world. There are great restaurants in Bradford, particularly Asian restaurants as Bradford has many people from Indian, Pakistani, and Afghanistan. Bradford is known as the curry capital of the north. If you ever go to Bradford you should definately try a curry!

I moved to Manly because I am married to an Australian. My husband, James, was born in Manly but has a Welsh/Scottish Mum, and a Scottish Dad. James is a surf instructor and he works at Manly Surf School on Manly beach.

In my spare time I enjoy running, swimming and, when I have time, reading. Back in the U.K. I used to spend time indoor rock climbing and mountain climbing with my brother Simon. I have attached a video of me doing a very treacherous river jump! Don't you think I am brave?

I'm very excited about our new class blog - I think we will have fun doing the blog each week. I hope you enjoy the blog too.

Happy blogging!

Victoria
