  • Description

    I am 23 years old and am currently studying to become a primary school teacher at the LMU in Munich. My main subject is English, but I will also be teaching German, Maths and Art. As part of my studies, I have to spend 2 months in an English-speaking country and get to know the culture there (more on that further down in my profile). Besides my studies I work in a trampoline park here in Munich.

    During my stay abroad, I would like to further improve my English, so I can be a better teacher. I would also like to improve my artistic skills, if possible. I already took a workshop and made my own tuft rug, and took a course on drawing and woodworking at uni. I really like doing such manual things, and am always looking to learn more. In addition to that, I also want to learn more about a foreign cultue. People from all around the world come to Munich for the Oktoberferfest, or more recently during the european championship, and I always enjoy interacting with them (giving, directions, taling about munich, ...). A trip abroad would be really exiting for me.

    I am relaxed and layed back, and always happy to help wherever I can. But when it comes to work I am always diligent and give my best. When I am not studying/working I like to go to go out with friends and my family or play video games. But I am also an active person. I have been trampolin jumping for about 3 years and I recently picked up cycling. I had 4 lomg-term internships in primary schoops here in Germany, and I really enjoyed them.

    This is my first long stay abroad and also my first time with work away. So I am looking forward to doing and learning lots of new thing!

    If possible, I would like to stay with you from August 15th to Oktober 15th, but I am flexible and willing to compromise.

  • What else ...

    This 2 momth stay abroad may be part of my studies, but it really does not impact you. After my stay abroad I have to write an essay on my experiences. It may be that someone from my University calls you to check if I was abroad, but nothing more.
