    Description

    Hi guys, My name is Sica you can call me Cha, I'm an English Teacher at Junior high school and the founder of English course. I live with my husband,Roni and my son,his name is Asyraf in Giyanti Temanggung Central Java Indonesia. I've been shaping young minds and helping them mastering English for over ten years now. every day I hold English private and classical group for my students{kindergarten-teenagers)of the surrounding area together with a group of teachers that help me. there are 5 paid local teachers in my staff. I would gladly welcome any volunteer who is fluent in English and is willing to teach languange to the kids. we are looking for someone that love children and comfortable to play with them.
    Outside of teaching, I absolutely love to meet new people from another country. Engaging in conversations that expand our horizons brings me immense joy. Whether it's discussing literature or simply sharing stories, connecting with others on a personal level enriches both our lives.
    Are you ready to make a difference in the lives of others while immersing yourself in local culture? If so, we have an incredible opportunity for you.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are very open to any culture, religion and beliefs. From our travels we have learned how beautiful differences are and how much you can learn from people who live differently from us.
    We live in a wonderful village which is located close to a mountain.
    We will invite you to participate in the English class and to accompany the students to study English. Furthermore we embrace the traditions of the place where we live, so who comes here will have a full immersion into the villagers lifestyle, together with some internationalisation 😁
    We like to go out for traditional food or karaoke night, play date with the students and my family, meet up with friends or go for a walk and rafting in the river.
