Beschreibung

Hello! Writing this, I am currently in the last few weeks of my Master's at Edinburgh University. I've been studying at university for the last four years, and I am looking forward to finishing!

Compared to some of my friends, I am in no rush to get a job and will be looking to explore after my graduation. I am a great lover of France, French culture and the language - although my speaking is in need of much improvement - so this is where I hope to score a workaway.

I am quite active, a good skier and I am trying to improve my surfing as well, although during the year I cycle. I have previously done a ski season and trips with the university. I am keen to learn and motivated to improve my French. Once I finish and have more time, I would like to spend time doing things that mean more to me: reading, cooking and connecting with friends that I previously haven't had as much time for.

While consumption and materialism usually aren't on my agenda, my car is one of my largest projects, and I usually end up talking about how I have converted it to run on vegetable oil - (almost) completely carbon neutral! I have mostly enjoyed my time at university and have a greater appreciation and understanding of 'problem solving'; but at the moment I think I would rather use this for myself rather than work for some huge company.

This summer, I have kept busy by working on my Master's project, although on the weekends I volunteer at a falconry centre. Something about the birds appeals to me greatly, and generally I am quite happy around animals.

Thank you for reading, and hopefully this indicates my thoughts and feelings at the moment, I look forward to speaking with you!

Mehr Infos zu meinen Sprachinteressen
I am keen to improve my French. Without having taken any exams since school, I cannot accurately describe my level. However, my reading and writing are intermediate as I can practice these myself. Although my speaking needs work. I have tried somewhat with apps like Tandem to find native speakers to practice with, although the speech element is still lacking. Improving my French would be a big aim for me.

Was könntest du arbeiten?

My undergraduate was in Physics, and I have plenty of experience tutoring, if you happen to need help teaching mathematics or science, I can help.

I am reasonably mechanical and have experience working on my own car 2001 Fabia 1.9tdi. Generally I am quite practical.

Along with my tutoring, I spent time at college helping children in younger years; I am happy working with children, but probably not younger than 5.

"This is your chance to mention any other relevant info, perhaps which board games you play or hobbies/interests that you did not talk about in your description..."

All important information is in the profile description so I can outline some less important information here:

I enjoy playing cards although have not done so recently.
On Tuesdays I go play in a pub quiz with some friends, we have done quite well and have won a few times!
I really enjoy playing table tennis, although strangely only in a relaxed setting; I dont like it as much when it becomes too competitive.
I used to play for a paintball team in national competitions, even winning a few player awards.
Currently I am reading 'The Idiot by Dostoevsky' and I think its a wonderful book. I finished 'War and Peace' earlier this year and thought that was a great book also.
