    We are looking for a native English person.
    Tidy and respectful. Easy going and talkative. Will be integrated in family life.

    Your task: spend as much time as possible interacting with kids in English. You will be invited to cummunicate exclusively in your language .
    You will interact with 3 kids (15, 10, 10 years old). They are beginners. Chat, make them talk, play, read, repeat school lessons, help with English homework, go out with them, visit our city, jogging, go to the park, all this in English...

    If you play violin: repeat violin lessons with the twins and help them progressing 1h/day each.

    Kids go to school and have several activities. When they are not at home, you will be free.

    You will never be left alone with kids. Your task is not babysitting but practicing your language.
    I mostly work from home.

    YOU WILL BE FREE 2 days per week.
    There are a lot of nice places to see around here. It's a very touristic region (the popes lived nearby, Nostradamus was born not so far away, Van Gogh painted outhere, jeans was created here before Levi made it famous,...)
    You can also go to the seaside (public transport) or to the river (30 min walk) in the summer.
