Hi there :)

Welcome to the forum. Watch out for the piranhas... their bite is worse than their bark. Or something. :confused:

It's fairly straight forward but if you have any problems, post a query - there are loads of people on here who are only too happy to help out :)

Are you an expat Brit? What brought you over to the USA?

So have you been teaching over here?

Oh wow! Congrats - it must have taken a huge amount of work to get it up and running. I bet you get loads of job satisfaction though :)

Lol Bob - the girl in question is only 15 at the moment. I'm fairly sure that if she moves over with her family she'll be able to go the usual American route to getting a teaching qualification :)

Hello Iona!

If you'd like to share what part of Scotland you are from, and where you live in the US, you may find some old and new neighbours.

Some of my ancestors were from Ayrshire. I'm Texan born and bred but feel very much at home in the UK. I hope to live there someday and would love to live in the UK in the summer and Texas in winter! ;)
