  Descrição

  ============
  cleaning outside/inside,gardening, DIY, sanding and painting / language practice with teens (English, German, Italian)
  ============
  
  We live in a house in Thonon-les-Bains, a small city of 35 000 inhabitants, by the Geneva Lake and just next to the mountains (french Alps) : a beautiful area.
  (Easy connexion from Geneva, international airport)
  
  There is always lots to do : renovation in the house, cleaning, gardening, ...
  
  We have a garden with fruits and vegetables and a henhouse.
  500 m from the lake side : in summer swimsuit essential :)
  
  The family consists of
  - I (Marie-Cécile), the mom (widow).
  - Marie-Adélaïde ( a girl), 16 years. She likes reading books and playing the piano…. She learns english, german and spanish.
  - Pierre-Gaspard ( a boy), 14 years. He likes making construction with Lego, creating new things, creating with Scratch and Unity, cycling and reading. He is a real teenager ;)
  - Josselin (a boy), 11 years. He is very active. He likes to play football, do gym, play with Lego, be outside, cycling, jogging ... He likes music. He plays the piano.
  - two cats doing their life inside and outside.
  - Chicken in the henhouse.
  
  We cook a lot by our own (less as possible industrial food).
  
  We are ecoresponsible as much as possible, and try to make no waste (food, clothes, water, energy, ...). We use the more we can the plants, fruits, vegetables coming from the garden.
  Lunch and dinner are shared with the family, sharing a meal together is an important thing in France. We are an omnivorus family (meat, milk, butter, cheese, egg, wheat, pasta, rice, fish, vegetables, fruits, ...) :) So think about if you can not adapt your diet...
  Workawayers came several times at home, others come and visit us when in the area, ...

  Ajuda

  ENGLISH TUTOR
  -Pierre-Gaspard (15) learns english at school, but it's difficult for him.
  We are looking for a native English speaker (preferably a guy) to be Pierre-Gaspard's English tutor for 30 minutes a day. The main quality of these person will be patience and faith!
  -Marie-Adélaïde (16) will also need to train in English (conversation esentially ...).
  -Josselin (12) begins slowly english at school. He needs a tutor to train everyday (20 mn per day) in a structured way.
  Tutoring does not occupy all of your work time, so it will be necessary to do something else like gardening, DIY, cleaning, wood work...
  
  GERMAN TUTOR
  Marie-Adélaïde learns german at school. A native German speaker would be welcome to do conversation with her, to review the basics and to train.
  Tutoring does not occupy all of your work time, so it will be necessary to do something else like gardening, DIY, cleaning, wood work...
  
  ITALIAN TUTOR
  -Pierre-Gaspard (15) learns italian at school from september 2021.
  We are looking for a native italian speaker (preferably a guy) to be Pierre-Gaspard's Italian tutor for 30 minutes a day. The main quality of these person will be patience and faith, because languages are not intuitive for Pierre-Gaspard...
  -Josselin (11) will learn italian next year, so short times with him would be great to begin with the basics. He discovers italian with the app Duolingo.
  Tutoring does not occupy all of your work time, so it will be necessary to do something else like gardening, DIY, cleaning, wood work...
