My name is Susan. Alan and I have been married for 38 years and we have three grown-up sons and one baby grandson, all living in Britain. We have both been teaching full-time at Yang-En University in Quanzhou for the past year.

　　I am an American and have a BA (Honours) in Liberal Arts from Butler University and a Master's Degree in Drama from Yale Graduate School, both in America. I have been a part-time teacher for many years in England, primarily teaching English as a second language at International High Schools near London. I also have the CELTA qualification. At Yang-En, I have been teaching Extensive Reading and Linguistics to 3rd and 4th year students.

　　 Alan and I have travelled widely throughout America and Europe, as well as visiting a number of countries in North Africa and the Middle-east. We plan to travel to see as much as possible of China and Asia during the holidays while we are working in China. We are both keen tennis players, and I am a keen and knowledgeable gardener.
