Derek comes from a lovely seaside town called Torquay, in Devon, in the South-West of England, where he taught in two schools before moving abroad. He moved to Asia in 2017 to teach in Jakarta. After five years, he moved to Ho Chi Minh in 2022. Derek sees teaching as an exciting, challenging and amazingly rewarding job, and loves seeing the students he teaches develop their skills and knowledge under his guidance. He is a avid football fan, and, when back in England, he will take every opportunity to watch football live, including watching his local team, Torquay United.
