Description

Hi there!

My name is Pete - I'm a science teacher, currently based in Kuwait. Like everyone on this site (I imagine!) I love to travel but really enjoy getting stuck in with a community and having a bit of purpose while I do so. I think it's a much more rewarding way of exploring other cultures and learning about people - two things I am very motivated by!

I'm new to Workaway, but very excited to see a whole community of like-minded people.

More details about my language interests
I have a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) qualification, so am happy to help with English lessons. My current language goal is to improve my French, but I would also appreciate help with my Arabic (which I find is much more difficult!)

More details about your skills

My day job is teaching science at a big secondary school - I have a passion for education and love working with young people. My degree is in Chemistry - niche, I know! I'm a native English speaker and am working actively on my French. I have picked up a few phrases in Arabic, but would love to work on this more.

In terms of practical skills, I'm a keen woodworker; I'm fortunate to have some highly skilled professional friends who have taught me how to wood-turn and make cabinets / furniture. I'd love to scale this up to using carpentry to build structures and buildings. I enjoy practical work of any sort and will enthusiastically turn my hand to anything! Gardening, painting, cleaning - happy to give it my all!

What else ...

I'm a big believer in trying anything once! I love sports and played Kabaddi at university. Really open to whatever life throws my way...
