Description
Starting up again in September - I continue with my homeschool group of tenth graders out of my home in Nosara Costa Rica. I am in search of a passionate teacher who understands the challenges and blessings of leading students this age.
My ideal candidate is a level headed, healthy person who will appreciate the ideal schedule that compliments morning and/or evening yoga of surf sessions with weekends off.
Nosara is a magical place with some of the best surfing beaches in the world. There are people from all over the world who call this place home alongside the lovely locals, the Costa Ricans, who maintain the magic by sharing their knowledge and wisdom. Yoga, tennis, futbol (soccer), BJJ, Capoeira, drum circles, salsa dancing are other popular activities.
The position entails leading students through a very straightforward and organized Math and Science curriculums in English. My students are all new additions to Costa Rica (immigrants), like myself. Classes are taught in English. Spanish language abilities are helpful but not required.
You will join myself and one other teacher on this mission to guide the children and educate them. You will meet many fabulous people here and have also your food and a private, safe place to live taken care of! I have a bicycle and a surfboard for your use as well.
Your schedule will be from 10am until 1pm on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. Marking and lesson prep can be done in your own time as you wish.

French: BeginnerThis host offers a language exchange
I like to practice French. I’m happy to help with Spanish language learning. Due to the nature of the position I require a helper work a solid grasp on English.
Accommodation
You will have a private apartment with AC located in the village, near where I live. It is equipped with everything you need to live comfortably during your stay. You can do your laundry in my house. Your apartment is equipped with a blender, oven, stove, coffee maker and necessary utensils.
You will have a bicycle and access to surfboards.
What else ...
The pace of life that I have cultivated is slow and steady . Waking early to surf and sleeping early in preparation is the norm. Salsa dancing is fun and exciting but I don’t get carried away - after all we are teachers ie pillars of the community - this is not a good arrangement for party people!
