    Description

    Hi, my name is Karolina and I live in Gdynia in the north of Poland. As an avid traveller I have visited over 40 countries in the last 7 years. As a language school owner I have been hosting students from all over the world for twelve years by now by organising cross-cultural internships and through workaway. My school itself has been in business for almost twenty- five years. In summer I organise day camps where you can share your culture to Polish children, who are very enthusiastic and eager to learn; I know what I'm talking about as they are my students:).

    This summer projects:
    Camp in Mikoszewo by the sea 22.06-29.06


    But if you wanna help me in between in the office, organising files or advertising, looking for clients to my international online shop with health and beauty products, you are more than welcome.

    All the time I'm looking for Japanese teachers:)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The work with children and teenagers is very rewarding itself. You could make new friends with them and their families, learn how to conduct lessons, develop your organizational and leadership skills, take part in trips and attractions like scientific centre, laser games or cooking local desserts. The experience you gain can be a precious asset in your CV. Thanks to the summer workshops I made friends all over the world too.

    You can choose the accommodation in a flat with my family (preferably a girl as I live with my daughter and mum), whete you will have a room for yourself or you can choose to stay at my school, where you could be more independent. The school has a separate room with a sofa, and a bathroom with a shower and a bath. In both cases you will have a fridge with some food and kitchen to use but mostly you will be catering for yourself.
    Please bear in mind that i don't eat meat, so if i prepare sth to eat, it will be vegetarian ;)
