More details about your skills
At the moment I work at a British school as an English teacher (I have been a teacher for 4 years now) and I have my own online psychology practice with clients from different countries.

I also run Mindfulness meditation group sessions now and then, and I like to share my knowledge on the topic whenever I have the opportunity.

I have experience with gardening, animal care, natural building, house sitting, permaculture and farmstay after previous workaways and volunteering projects.

As a Psychologist and a teacher, I have plenty of experience in dealing with big groups of people, carrying out projects, delivering lessons, organising events, planning, receiving feedback, making adjustments to educational curriculums, meeting with diverse people from different backgrounds and languages... It would be safe to say I am a good listener and communicator, and a people person.

I am extremely open-minded and easy-going. Whatever makes the both of us happy, I am cool with it :)

Lovely family and lovely project in a small, rural village in Central Java. Gati is such a passionate teacher who truly loves her job, but because this is quite a remote area with not so many tourists around, they struggle to get native speakers to come and speak to the kids, so they will be super thrilled to have you around!
