Description
Hi, I'm an English teacher and I have travelled all over Europe teaching English to children, teenagers and adults. I really enjoy meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I have experience volunteering in a language immersion programme and it was one of the best experiences of my life as I met some amazing and unique people. My hobbies include shopping, watching movies, meeting people for a drink or a meal, listening to music and walking in the mountains.

I spent a week with Kasia, Pawel and their cute kids in December, and also a week with them and other families at a camp in the mountains in October. Both weeks were great fun and short but exciting!

I spent 3 lovely weeks with Beata and her family last autumn. Beata is one of the most friendly people I've met, we had some great conversations. Her sons are very intelligent and fluent at English, teaching them was more of a pleasure than a job.

Sarah is a capable teacher with a beautiful British accent. It was a great benefit to our program because we always have few Britons. She is cheerful, hardworking and reliable. If she is interested in helping us again, we will be happy.

I stayed with Karolina for 5 days and worked at a day camp at her school. There weren't many children, but I really enjoyed my stay there. Karolina is a very open and friendly person, and I enjoyed learning about her travels.

My stay with Sara and Przemek was very short because I had to teach on summer camps before and after so I didn't have much time. They are both very friendly and welcoming, and their sons are so cute!

However, I had the impression that she doesnt like the company of small children (we have 3 under 4yo), and was quite busy with her online classes - I recommend talking to her online in advance and discuss the… read more
