I am Richard from the United Kingdom. I have been living in China for 14 years and I have been working within the education sector teaching in primary schools, middle schools and training centres.

My education qualifications include HNC and an HND for College, BA Degree from Napier University, PGD from Edinburgh University and an MBA from QMU University in Edinburgh. I also have a TEFL certificate.

My hobbies before I came to China included martial arts and other sports. I participated in Judo for 15 years and was a Judo couch and a referee. During this time, I travelled throughout the UK refereeing at major Judo events.
