  • Description

    Hi! I'm Marcel, 27 years old and currently studying to become an English and Philosophy teacher in Germany. Born and raised in a portuguese household, I always had a lot of contact with multiple cultures simultaneously and love learning more about cultures I haven't experienced yet. As for right now, I want to focus on English-speaking countries to further expand my speaking-skills and to encounter the native English speakers outside of schoolbooks.
    I am very open to all kinds of life-styles and believe that every human encounter is either a nice acquaintance or a lesson...or worst case scenario, a fun story one can tell later on.

    More details about my language interests
    I'd love to further improve my speaking skills, since I usually don't get the opportunity to speak with native English speakers. As an aspiring English teacher I'm also always open to teach not only English but also Portuguese and German.

  • More details about your skills

    I guess 'Jack of all trades, master of none' describes it quit accurately. I'm very open, communicative and very stress-resistent. I'm also proficient in personal planning and general office work, as I worked in a HR department for almost three years. As for technical skills, I'm capable of doing basic tasks like assembling furniture or changing car tires. I also have no problem in gardening or cooking (even though I'm not a great cook) and have experience in cleaning and housekeeping.
    As for language skills, I'm fluent in German, Portuguese and English and have basic knowledge in Spanish, Latin and Italian (currently learning it) and would love to teach or just assist in learning.
    Working with animals and children would also be fun and not a problem at all.
