More details about your skills
I am a biology and chemistry teacher in a high school (Gymnasium) in Hamburg, Germany, so I am used to work with people especially children and teenagers from age 10 to 18 years. Naturally I am also dealing with adults in my work :). I passed school with the degree of Highschool, after school I studied biology, chemistry and education. After making my practical teacher examinations I gained 10 years of teaching experience. I like drawing, sketching and painting. To improve my painting I attend a sketching course weekly. I like to craft all kind of things. I have a huge passion in cooking and am especially interested in Korean and Japanese cusine. I train Wing Chun kung fu for over 16 years now and enjoy it very much. In this context I provide training lessons for kids and adults as well.

The beach was… read more

A wonderful worker and a great guy, Tim quickly made himself an invaluable asset to our community and was at hand at all times for any tasks at any time. Before I even met him he was already chopping wood, he is very funny, interesting and helpful, I cannot recommend him strongly enough in any community voluntary or otherwise.
