Profile information

My status

Description
I'm a pretty simple person who likes to hang out and chat about anything.

I legitimately care about other people, and like to make an effort to help out with a variety of projects.

Language tutoring/teaching, building/anything labor intensive, animals, nature, art, cooking/baking.

I just got my CELTA and am currently doing 1 on 1 private Spanish classes, as well as working with my mother at her Interior Design studio.

I worked as a park ranger and on other natural-resource projects in the USA among a panorama of other jobs over the years, including lots of what you may consider alternative travel, really trying to milk the world and see many places. After all, I´ve much more enjoyed time traveling and working in Latin America. I've acquired more experience doing English teaching and tutoring and find that I like this the most.

Stuart was a pleasure to have around and one of the most hard-working people that we've hosted. He arrived just before the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in Colombia and ended up staying for over 6 months with us, teaching over the internet to students and immersing himself in our culture during that whole time.

He was always early, always prepared… read more

I stayed here for 6 months and I would do so again. I had complete creative freedom with my classes which was very important to me, as well noone hawked over me or criticized my work. I liked all of my students, some of whom quite a lot, because I connected with them and was able to effectively mentor them. I also greatly enjoyed helping the staff… read more

What´s up guys!

Tonight is the night to leave a great feedback to my great friend Stuart. He helped me so much here in my English school in a time where I needed the most.

He´s a very intelligent person and guided me in my new project of online English lessons (as you can see in my profile). He´s so articulated in the English language and even… read more

I lived with Mattos and volunteered in his English School for about 10 weeks. I highly recommend this workaway experience - especially if you are interested in learning to teach (it was my first time in a formal teaching setting), expanding your teaching experience, learning basic Portuguese or improving your current level of Portuguese.

Stuart stayed in my house for 2 weeks. He was great company and super nice to Pola. He took her on long walks! Stuart was very independent and was a great fit to my lifestyle. We enjoyed good quality time together - he was trustworthy, considerate and mindful. You can speak openly and honestly to Stuart and he will engage and adapt respectfully.

This was a very good first Workaway experience. I stayed with Violeta in Las Condes for 2 weeks in November '17. Much of my work involved walking and playing with Pola who is a great dog. Overall, I would highly recommend. The work exchange was better than fair. I can verify that you can completely trust Violeta, she is transparent and real. As… read more

Stuart is a kind, patient and enthusiastic guy who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. He stayed with us for longer then he expected and we were very grateful to have him! He is keen to learn new skills and is calm and quiet, not fussy, attentive and hard-working.
We would be happy to have him back anytime!!
Thanks Stuart and stay well :)

I stayed here for a bit more than a week after impulsively traveling to Chiloe in December 2017. Let me tell you, this was really one of my best decisions in life - because between everyone I met working here - I have nothing but good things to say about every single one of them.

If you want to be surrounded by hardworking people with the best… read more

I stayed with Felipe and Evelyn outside of Villarrica for a week in December '17. I helped with property management in preparation for the summer season - reorganizing and moving various things, raking, painting and a bit of work in the garden.
I would venture to say it was an honor to meet and to stay with these people, they are very kind and… read more
