Description
I am an English teacher who loves teaching English. I love working with children and help them to learn English. Currently I am on maternity leave with my six months old son. We live in a small town in the south Moravia. This region is a great place with vineyards and a beautiful landscape.
In summer I am organizing an English camp for children. I would appreciate help from an enthusiastic native speaker who would love to spend a few hours a day with kids (age 6-10) and support their pozitive attitude to english language. I have organized similar course two years ago (last summer my son was born therefore there was no camp) and it was a successful and enjoyable week.
I can offer staying in a cozy family house in your own room. As we live on the borders with Slovakia and Germany its very easy to visit Vienna within an hour. There are also beautiful places to visit around our town.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I live in a beautiful area known as a region of wine and area with rich folk traditions. My family owns a wine cellar so the wine tasting would be possible.
If you like teaching and working with children, this is a great oppurtunity to gain some experience.
People in this region are open-minded, friendly and hospitable. You will definitely make new friends and meet absolutely different culture.

Help

Your task would be to spend some time with my students, practice English with them and show them various cultural differences. You will work for 2- 4 hours a day at maximum.
You should arrive one or two days in advance and stay a week at maximum.

I live with my husband in a small house.We are a young easy going couple. We have one son, ne is six moths old. We love meeting new people from different countries and we love travelling a lot.
We have already axperienced working away in the Netherlands and Germany and therefore I decided to become a host.
As I mentioned before I am an English teacher at elementary school and my husband is an engineer and works in a gas and oil company nearby our house. We like spending our time with our friends.
