Travelling
Description
Hello! My name is Jamie and I am 22 years old from Melbourne, Australia. What motivates me to bring happiness? Well, it's a motivation intrinsic to the human soul, something not specifically connected to any moment or person in my life, rather something that is part of my own desires to be whole, to be the best version of myself.
Sometimes I am motivated by gratitude. I grew up with abundance in the four basic needs. So, when I can give security or empowerment to others so that they can escape the everyday fight or flight mode, they can consequentially expand and explore their own individuality. At this point, they can help others to a greater extent.

I am most certainly interesting in teaching english at all levels. Although I do not have any accreditation, I believe I am competent enough to help the children improve with me, but more importantly empower them with the skills to continue to improve without me.

More details about your skills
I just love people, plain and simple. I graduated from the University of Melbourne in Psychology earlier this year and have spent the last six travelling around Asia and Europe with my partner. I have done mentoring at two different schools in Melbourne, working one on one with kids aged 12-13 in all things related mental health.
I have also done basketball coaching for sixteen year-olds and private basketball coaching for an eighteen-year-old special Olympian. My ex step-sister of six years had cerebral palsy so I also am very competent working with special needs kids - exemplified in my private basketball coaching.
While travelling through rural Morocco, Vietnam and Thailand I was able to improve my communication skills non-verbally, playing and communicating with kids anyway I can.

What else ...
I love basketball... a lot!
I play sports frequently, so can play soccer with the kids too. I taught my little cousins the basics.
I adore music, all types - most types. I love dancing, so am always down to have a boogie.
I also love card games - standard 52 card deck games. Although I usually play other games with kids that don't require language communication. I can also help work through meditation and breathing techniques with kids as well.
