Descripción

Some of the things I value most in life are - Family, friends, nature, music, and teaching.

About four years ago, I went through a very big change in my life. I worked for several years as a programmer, spending many hours in front of a computer - with very little social life. I became quite depressed and needed a change. So I stopped working on the computer and got a job teaching English and interacting with kids. My life completely changed and now I absolutely love what I do.

My main job is a coordinator in an English immersion camp (we do camps in English for Argentine kids that are studying English). I interact with hundreds of kids per year, from ages 9 to 17, and I love it. We do lots of different activities, more than just English practice.

We do some music based activities (like improvising music together), nature based activities (like planting and taking care of the garden), team building activities, games, sports, and a lot more.

Ever since I've gone through this major change in my life, my interests and values have changed as well. Now I value time with family and friends over almost anything. Some of my favorite activities are playing the guitar, walking through nature, watching the stars at night, or a campfire. And just hanging out with friends - making jokes and sharing precious moments.

Que habilidades tienes?

My passion is working with kids and teens - teaching through games and music. I've been working for the past 4 years as a coordinator/counsellor in an English immersion camp in Buenos Aires. I love inventing new games and activities for the camps and just joking around with the kids.

I have a lot of experience managing small, medium, and large groups of kids/teens, from all ages (the youngest usually being 8 years old, and the oldest being in their late teens). I've coordinated camps of over 80 students (although I prefer smaller groups, for more personal interaction). And the average was about 30-40 students.

Many times I have needed to improvise and create activities/games in the moment, and I feel like this is one of my strong suits. Always engaging with the students and making interesting conversation.

We've also done camps for adults where we did mostly conversation based activities. But I prefer working with kids/teens - to me, it's just a more fun environment.

Algo más...

Music is one of my biggest passions. I play the guitar and sing. I love to "jam" and improvise music with other people.

I love to play all types of games - board games, word games, chess, Pictionary, Charades, etc. Working in camps, I've learned and invented a lot of games.

I try to live a healthy lifestyle including diet and activities. I don't use social media or watch movies/shows. I spend very little time on computers/phones and don't own a smartphone.

I love good conversation. I believe some of the most important things in life are teaching/learning, growth, sharing/helping, and in general: love.
