Travelling
Description
Hi there! My name is Seth and I'm a sociable friendly British guy who loves helping out other people, especially in learning Languages. Also I'm very keen on travelling and I've done a lot of volunteer work in many places over many years (such as Camphill communities, kids summer-camps and language centres).
I'm very keen to explore Eastern Europe this Autumn and looking at various options.
During the past 15 years I have been strongly involved in teaching English to foreigners in Russia, Ukraine and Poland. This has been at various language schools and kids summer camps as well as being the main organisor of a great number of English language clubs for teens and adults.
I strongly believe in an ethos of doing things through fun, laughter, creativity, imagination and games and I have a good repertoire of anecdotes, games and activities for making language learning more interesting.
Also I am a confident speaker with groups and in public and have organised various English clubs and performed in some stand-up comedy as well as seminars for teachers.
My hobbies are: travel, photography, computers, philosophy/metaphysics books & discussions, mountaineering/hiking, caving, windsurfing, tennis, archery and squash.
