Descripción
Hi, I am a domestic teacher teaching English to children and young adults (some with learning difficulties, that need extra attention) in Galle, Sri lanka.
Our main goal is to help students to improve their English speaking, listening and written skills, whilst learning to work together and think outside the box.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
You will have a chance to help and work with some of the most kind children and students in the world.
An option to study for an online TEFL teaching qualification whilst gaining classroom experience.
A great opportunity for university students who want to gain classroom experience before starting their career or need a break away from their current job.
And on top of it all you'll get a real taste of daily life in a town close to the beach in Sri Lanka.

Ayuda
You will assist me on fixed days & hours in the classes. This will involve:
- supporting the local English trainee in creating lessons and improve her administrative computer skills which will be beneficial to him/her in their future studies or career.
- during class, you will support me with the children that need some extra help because of their learning difficulties
- you help me to make sure the kids come in and leave the premises safely (as mentioned some children are in need of extra assistance)
- this is a place where kids not only improve their English skills but also strengthen their social skills. This is why you will play a very important role as children love to hear your stories.
- please note that this is not a teaching position as you will mainly support and assist me. Together we can make sure the kids get the most out of their learning experience
- you need to take care of the teaching area, your living space and kitchen area with respect as if it was your own.
Ohh, one more thing......
We are looking for mature responsible people, not for children that we have to educate and teach how to behave!!!
Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido
Holandés: Fluido

Alojamiento
You'll (share if you're together) have a big bedroom with 1 double bed and a bathroom, this the house where we conduct the classes on weekdays.
It has a basic kitchen and is situated just outside the busy town area where the monkeys still jump on the roof.
We don't provide food, but you can buy prepared or fresh food so you can cook yourself (There are shops just around the corner).
All points of interest are within 3-4 km.
There is a bicycle that you may use to go around the area,. *Not available at the moment, but there are scooters for rent everywhere!
There is a bus stop at the main road (100 metres) and don't forget the tuc-tucs you can hire from your doorstep; they are the low budget taxi service in Sri Lanka.
Algo más...
Around Galle there are several beaches and of course the famous Galle fort, most within bicycling distance.
As said above, There will be a bicycle that you can use to go around the area and the bus stops at the main road and don't forget the tuc-tucs you can hire; they are the low budget taxi service in Sri Lanka.
If you're looking for a place that is full with action and nightlife then this isn't the place for you, but if you respect other cultures, nature and a peaceful environment, we will be happy to have you helping us.
What we expect from you is to bring Western values, an excellent knowledge of the English language, both spoken as written and if you on top of that have any classroom/teaching experience it will be super.
As you will be working with children and students that are still wearing traditional uniforms and hairstyles we would like to ask you to keep this in mind towards you own appearance.

I stayed 3 weeks with Marga and Eranda in May/June 2019. Unfortunately I fall ill and the first thing Marga&Eranda did, was taking care of me - like a family-member.
I had a bad conscience because I wanted to be a help for them, and then they had to help me.
I was sooo lucky,… read more
