> My name is Tish and I am a Mathematics and English teacher at a  
> secondary school in the Netherlands.  Don’t let the fact that the  
> school is in the Netherlands fool you, as although I teach Dutch  
> students they participate in a bilingual programme.  I teach in the  
> international stream at Schoter Secondary School. Our students  
> study all of their subjects in English (except for Dutch) and are  
> near-native speakers.
> There are three classes:  1A consisting of 12 and 13 year old  
> students (22 per class) and 3A which consists of 14 and 15 year old  
> students.
> They would like to make contact with classes of 12-13 year olds or  
> 14-15 year olds consisting of native speakers (either an  
> international school OR an American/British/Canadian/Irish/ 
> Australian school).
>
> We have planned a trip to Newcastle (England) in April and look  
> forward to visiting other countries with our students in the future  
> (both in and outside of Europe).
>
> I’m also a native speaker and I am always interested in exchanging  
> ideas with colleagues throughout the world.
