  Description

  Hello,
  
  We are a small family consisting of two individuals: my son, Alan, and myself (Edwin).
  
  Alan is six years old and is homeschooled. I take on the role of his teacher for certain subjects such as Math, Physics, and some Sciences. However, he also has his own teacher for other subjects within his homeschooling curriculum.
  
  I have a passion for salsa dancing and thoroughly enjoy visiting great salsa dance venues in Medellín. I find immense joy in dancing salsa with my guests whenever the opportunity arises. Additionally, I take pleasure in teaching them how to dance salsa, and I am also currently a beginner in "Bachata." I'm in the process of learning this genre of dance and we could embark on this journey together.
  
  As a non-native English speaker, I'm still at a beginner level, which is why I greatly appreciate and require assistance in teaching my son how to speak English. I am actively seeking guidance and support in this aspect.
  
  Over time, we've had the pleasure of hosting various workawayers since Alan was a baby. The experiences have been truly rewarding, and many of these workawayers have become our dear friends. We aim to maintain these connections.
  
  We have recently relocated to a nearby area called "Sabaneta," situated just about 10 minutes away from Medellín by metro. It is a municipality in the Antioquia region.
  
  I am also a private math tutor for kids, and I have a substantial number of students. Some of them also take English lessons from the workawayers I host, which could include you. Therefore, the assistance we are seeking from you primarily involves helping my son, myself, and my students learn and improve their English language skills.
  
  Your presence would be greatly appreciated, and in return, we would be delighted to host you, teach you salsa dancing, and possibly even dance together. We look forward to sharing and learning from your unique experiences as well.
  
  See you!
  
  Edwin
