Descripción
I'm university student currently in the process of completing a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate. Having lived in Canada as an immigrant for 11 years and volunteered as a Workawayer in different countries, I have developed great passion for teaching as well as learning new languages and different cultures! I have been equipped with the skills and knowledge (Communicative Language Teaching) necessary for lesson planning, teaching vocabulary, grammar and English conversation skills at different English immersion camps and language schools.

I am also experienced in creating and leading group activities and games, and helping around the house. Apart from the serious "work", I love to organize some "alternative" activities with my hosts, such as testing different recipes, kayaking, cycling, hiking, playing soccer and basketball or camping! When volunteering at local schools, I enjoyed playing language games and having meaningful conversations with students. I think that the best way to engage students into their lesson is to have fun with them and become a part of them!

Please don't be hesitant and message me if you want to know more about my life story!
See you soon!

This is definitely the best school I've ever volunteered at! Not only are Robin and Ewa a very friendly and hospitable host who ensure all your needs are met during your stay but also the best mentors if you're new to teaching. The instructions and feedback they give are very clear and constructive, and eventually you'll find your own way in the… read more

Thank you Kelvin for being with us those 5 days. It was a very short time but we spent an amazing time. We had a wonderful time with you. You are a very open, flexible, and helpful person. Thanks for assisting while doing homemade preserves. We enjoyed playing chess, board games, and football. Children liked it so much. You are a very good… read more

Kasia has become one of my favorite Workaway hosts in Poland (or in the world) after my stay with her and her family. Although it was a very short stay which only lasted for 5 days, I really enjoyed every moment I spent with her kids and friends! We played cards and boardgames, had barbecue together and were invited to pick fresh berries at her… read more

I visited Bania and her kids twice (the first time was in last winter and the second was in this summer) and I she was one of the most amazing hosts I've ever met! Bania showed me her village and I spent wonderful time playing and speaking with her kids in English! I enjoyed every moment I spent with her family and I'd definitely recommend this… read more

I spent almost 2 weeks with Iwona and her family, and I'd say it was an absolutely incredible experience. They showed me great Polish hospitality, and I was given the opportunity to volunteer at Iwona's school as an English tutor. Her students were very intelligent and adorable. Stasiek was a little shy, but he managed to help me out as an Polish… read more

It was wonderful to stay with Jacek and his family. He was a respectable man with great insights and great sense of humor. His 2 daughters were very intelligent and talented.

Kelvin is a person with big dreams. He is not afraid to face challenges. And he is a hard working person. At our language school he was open for teaching all sort of students. Thank you Kelvin for being with us for a few weeks. I wish you good luck for your future.

I already knew Tom was a very reliable and kind person before we met. There was a delay on my arrival caused by an accident and he could still managed to pick me up at the train station very late at night. My accommodation plan was very well organized and I was warmly welcomed by his family, Barbara and his students. It was my first time teaching… read more

It was an amazing experience having Kelvin with us. We knew he was trusthworthy, helpful and friendly the day he arrived at our place. Besides helping kids with English, he shared stories about his life with us and willingly participated in simple domestic chores like doing the washing-up.
No doubt he is a great workawayer!

I would give this host 10 stars instead of 5- I had the most wonderful and joyous time during my stay with Beata's family and her students. Beata and her husband were one of the greatest and most generous hosts I ever met. I had so much fun with their son, Mateusz and his friends in our English lesson. All of them were very smart, spontaneous, and… read more

Lena's family is very warm and welcoming. I really felt at home during my entire stay. Not only did I get an opportunity to taste and experience Polish tradition, but also felt like being a part of the family.
The three lovely children whom I spoke with in English were very shy, but we could manage to finish our "English lessons" and to build our… read more
