  • Description

    We are Matthew and Simona a sociable, lively and passionate rock-climbing couple traveling the world since the beginning of 2020. We were traveling in many countries such as: Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, USA & Europe. On the way we joined lots of different projects (farming, teaching, carpentry etc.) to improve our Spanish. After a summer break to work and visit family and friends we are back on the road to explore new lands. We are now looking for an opportunity to teach English abroad.
    Since first meeting in Mexico the both of us fell in love and decided to focus on travelling through central America to learn Spanish. Almost two years later, we are still together surpassing the trials of an international relationship and are looking for our next language experience together.
    Simona, a 26-year-old Swiss citizen, has a TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) certification and is currently working on a DAF/DAZ (German as a foreign/second language) certification from the Goethe Institute and Friedrich Schiller University. She started teaching English at a project in Acacias, Colombia to young adults of various levels during February and March of 2022. Returning to Switzerland to her job as a social worker, she taught private classes in English and German to gain more experience teaching. Simona is excited for her next opportunity to sharpen her teaching skills as well as further open doors for the futures of numerous English students. Transitioning from her previous career as a social worker for an orphanage in Switzerland, Simona is looking for more experiences to build her blossoming career as a language teacher. From her previous profession, she has built crucial communicating skills and a high level of patience that improves the effectiveness of her teaching. Simona is a native German speaker, fluent in English, and has a conversational level in both Spanish and French.
    Simona also has a diploma and several years of experience as a dressmaker and is a passionate painter. She has a yoga teacher certificate and is dedicating her time to yoga, meditation, languages and rock climbing. (visit her blog www.monamond.wordpress.com)

    Matt, a 25-year-old United States citizen and native English speaker, is currently completing his TEFL certification and is on course to finish sometime in early December. Matt completed a bachelor‘s degree in environmental science in the spring of 2020, providing him a strong foundation in the English language along with a copious amount of experience writing and speaking in public. During his time at university, he also worked as a rock-climbing instructor allowing him to gain and practice crucial teaching and lesson planning skills. Teaching is one of Matt’s greatest passions and he is excited to further enhance his teaching abilities and spread his knowledge of the English language. Matt has a conversation level in Spanish and is excited to improve his skills in the respective language.
    Matt has an affinity for the natural world, science, philosophy, history, and enjoys to learn different perspectives on these subjects. He is motivated by dynamic environments, whether it is travelling, learning, or problem solving.
