Description
Hi, I'm Orla! I'm currently a student at the University of Edinburgh studying Spanish and Politics. I'm looking to do something meaningful with my time over the summer, eager to learn new skills and join a wonderful community!
I speak fluent English, intermediate Spanish, and some French. I'd love the opportunity to improve on my language skills by meeting other learners or native speakers.
I like to think that I could be described as creative, outgoing, and courageous. -

More details about your skills
Thanks to my previous experience teaching English in Casablaca, I have the ability to effortlessly adapt to different or unexpected situations, as well as connect with students with different ages, needs, and learing styles.
Additionally, I have extensive hospitality and customer service experience. From this experience, I learned strong interpersonal and communication skills, proper food hygiene standards, and how to accommodate large groups and groups with children.
Also, I have basic knowledge of gardening and agriculture due to previous workaways.
More than anything, I believe my most valuable skill is open-mindedness and eagerness to learn new skills. -
