I am currently

Description

I am an experienced volunteer looking for a structured, well-organized environment where I can be genuinely useful.

I previously spent six months at a British language academy providing teaching support, tutoring, lesson planning, and administrative help, typically around 8–10 hours per week. Over time, I naturally became an informal point of contact for new volunteers, helping them get oriented and understand daily routines.

I work best with clear instructions and defined expectations. I am independent, quiet, and low-maintenance in shared living spaces, and I’m comfortable working within existing systems without needing supervision.

Traveling with a Dog

I travel with a very small (7 lb / ~3 kg), house-trained dog.
He is a calm, professionally socialized companion who has traveled internationally (U.S., Europe, North Africa, South America) without issue. He sleeps most of the day, is quiet, and gets along very well with children, cats, and other dogs.
I also travel with a small, soft-sided crate that he’s comfortable in, should it ever be useful for logistics or shared spaces. He has consistently been welcomed in shared living environments.

What I’m Looking For

I am most effective in language-focused, administrative, guesthouse, or community support roles. I prefer organized projects with clear expectations and a defined routine. I am currently looking for placements of 1–3 months.
