Description

Hi, my name is Johannes Gandarillas Eberl, I’m 19 years old and from Munich, Germany. I’m currently taking a gap year after finishing high school and using this time to travel, grow personally, and get involved in meaningful projects.

I have a strong passion for working with children and young people. Over the years, I’ve gained experience as a tutor and babysitter, which taught me how to support kids in both practical and emotional ways. I really enjoy spending time with them — their energy and positivity are inspiring.

I’m also very open and social. I love connecting with people, listening to their stories, and helping wherever I can. I adapt quickly to new environments and enjoy being part of a team.

Outside of that, I like to stay active — I go to the gym regularly, enjoy hiking, playing football, and dancing (especially bachata!). I also love music: I play the saxophone, some guitar, and I enjoy singing. Traveling, learning languages, and experiencing new cultures are things I deeply care about. I’m currently exploring Vietnam and taking time to get to know the nature, the culture, and the rhythm of the country.

While I love working with children, I’m also happy to help with all kinds of other projects — from community work to organizing activities or simply offering a helping hand. I’m always eager to learn and be part of something meaningful.

More details about my language interests
I truly believe that language is one of the most beautiful ways we connect as humans. Teaching a language—especially to children and young people—feels deeply meaningful to me. It’s amazing to think I could help someone speak English and open up a whole new world for them. I’m also really curious to learn new languages myself, like Vietnamese. I just love the idea of growing and sharing through communication.

More details about your skills

I’m passionate about working with children and young people. Over the past five years, I’ve tutored kids aged 7–13 (especially in math) and worked as a babysitter for children aged 9 months to 10 years. These roles taught me patience, empathy, and how to support emotional and academic development.

I’m a good communicator, sociable, and adaptable. I enjoy listening to others and creating a positive, supportive atmosphere.

I’m also confident with technology and digital tools. I can work easily with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Zoom, and Apple Pages. I’m good at solving common computer issues, including basic Wi-Fi and network problems. Additionally, during an internship with Vodafone, I gained solid knowledge of mobile communication technologies and frequency systems.

Working in a busy ice cream shop and as a pizza delivery driver taught me how to stay calm under pressure and work efficiently even during hectic times. I also have a driver’s license and enjoy being active – whether through sports, music, or travel.

I look forward to contributing with energy, care, and reliability!

What else ...

I really enjoy doing activities that help me grow as a person. I try to face my fears, let go of stress, and become more myself. Sports help me a lot with that. I’ve started learning football recently and I love how it brings people together—especially kids. They have so much energy and joy, and I love how they keep going no matter what. It’s really inspiring, and I’d love to share that energy through games and activities with them.

I also go to the gym regularly because I like keeping my body healthy and feeling good about myself.

I love music too. I play saxophone, recently started guitar, and I really enjoy dancing—especially to Spanish and Latin music like Bachata. I’ve also sung in a choir, and music just makes me feel free and connected.

I like trying new sports, being outdoors, learning new skills, and meeting new people. Those are the moments where I feel most alive.
