Que habilidades tienes?
I speak and write excellent English, and have worked as an English language teacher for many years, mostly in England but also in China, Sudan, Russia and Germany. I could probably teach German although I have only done this once.
I tend to think I can do anything I put my mind to (which is to say that I am overconfident :) but I enjoy trying new things.

I'm writing this on my last evening before I leave Busselton. As others have said, the family is intelligent, fun and kind, and the dog is indeed cute. My only complaint is about the insidious, tenacious weeds in Australia (well some of them anyway...) :)

Celia is a very responsible teacher. She asked me a lot about the children's learning before arriving and prepared a lot of learning materials. Her class is very lively and interesting, my daughters like it very much. She is really a very serious teacher and she has helped our family a lot. I am grateful. Looking forward to the next reunion.

I left feedback the day after leaving this placement but it appears to have disappeared so I am writing it again. I spent a thoroughly enjoyable month teaching German here. The children were enthusiastic and well-behaved, the accommodation was luxurious and I really enjoyed the weather, especially the lack of humidity and the sights to see in… read more

I spent 5 weeks in this beautiful part of the world, one week under Mel's supervision and 4 weeks house-sitting. The routine was very well organised and I received written instructions about the house-sitting. The animals were no problem but I did feel the responsibility of taking care of the gardening quite keenly because of my lack of… read more

Celia was an excellent helper. She house-sat for us for a month. Although she admitted to not being the best of gardeners, she did a very good job, and quickly learned from her few mistakes. We would have loved her to stay longer so we could properly thank her and really show her the area, but we think she has 'itchy feet' Thanks again Celia.… read more

I think that at first not knowing any Spanish was a handicap, but the passage of time this was not a problem. She also took classes in Spanish and is an outstanding student.
Living with her is easy because she is a very discreet and educated person.
But especially she is an excellent English teacher, we have all learned a lot speak with… read more

I have been with this family for almost 2 weeks and am cutting my planned month here short by one week. The family is lovely and the accommodation is fine. I think that this placement would work better if the Workawayer speaks some Spanish - it's easier to have a relationship with smaller children when you speak at least a few words of their… read more

It was great to have Celia in our school. She is an experienced teacher who is always willing to help. She liked to prepare lessons or helped spontaneously to teach children of all ages (5-16). The only thing that she worried about was that there wouldn’t be enough to do. But we found all kind of things such as correcting homework, preparing… read more

I have just spent a week with this family in Aberdare which approached perfection (and I don't use that word lightly). I love dogs and the countryside and enjoyed walking the dogs every morning in the huge park that is very close to the house.
The family members gave me a cordial welcome and are gracious and sociable. The house is large… read more
