Description
Dear Workawayers,
You are welcome to come stay in your own bungalow with private bathroom close to Otres beach in exchange of courses. We are running, onsite, a lovely Hotel / Restaurant with a friendly Khmer team. There, you will be eating delicious traditional Khmer and western food for free. Teach a subject in which you are specialised in. The course must be in English or Spanish ( must be your native language ) . Courses start from 8 am to 12 on a great covered patio overlooking a mangrove lined river. Have the rest of the day left to explore the surrounding area or just take a ten minutes walk to the famous Otres beach to enjoy a swim, street food or just simply enjoy the sunset. On weekends, you can visit the nearby Islands ( Koh Rong / Koh Rong Saloem / Koh Ta Khiev ).
My name is William ( Guillermo ) and i am a French expat that has been living in Cambodia for eighteen years. My wife, Pov is Cambodian and we have three children, a 11 years old girl ( Sorya / grade 6 - 7 ), a 17 years old boy (Sem / grade 11 in Europe now) and a 26 years old girl (Sokchea / works in the family business).
My youngest daughter Sorya was going to an English school for 3 years before moving to a French school in October 2018 for 2 years. The school shut down in 2020 because of Covid and I have been doing home schooling since then. I am looking for a native Spanish or English speaker to help me teach.
Sorya (11years old / grade 6 - 7) is fluent in both languages. I would like the volunteers to be able to cover a few of her subjects from her program that I am following and consolidate her English or Spanish grammar. I ask for a minimum stay of 2 weeks to make the experience profitable.
Please let me know your specialty in advance. Feel free to suggest any propositions. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Hope to hear from you !
William

The experience with both kids has been very rich. Sem enjoyed his psychology lessons and litterature with you. Sorya made significant progress expressing herself in spanish and enjoy her Yoga lessons with you. She has been very sad when you left.
I wish you the best

We felt so lucky having you for almost a month. It is rare having so qualified volunteers staying so long. Sergio as a doctor and Narayet as a biologist made really interesting courses to Sem and Sorya.

We spent three weeks at the resort, teaching from 8-12, Monday - Friday. Sem and Sorya are very fluent in English so our lessons consisted more of what they would be studying at school, rather than a specific English language focus.
Sem is 15 and around Year 10 level and Sorya is 9 and around Year 4. They are both extremely… read more
