Kristina (28 / 女士 ), 斯洛伐克人, 教师生活在斯洛伐克寻找互惠生 & 家庭教师在加拿大的工作，时长为3-4 月

Dear Host,
my name is Kristina and I am from Slovakia. I am 27 years old. I have two older siblings, brother and sister.
My love for chidren inspired me to study teaching practice at the universtity and become a teacher.
Now, I am a teacher at the secondary grammar school where I teach English language and history.
Concerning my work experience with children, I have a lot of experience with children, because Iof my occupation. As a teacher, I am responsible for classroom management, assessing and looking after students. I try to take into consideration students´ needs, interests and their proficiency. I also prepare different kinds of activities and tasks for students which aim is to motivate students to learn, brighten up the lessons as well as make lessons of English language enjoyable, funny and interesting. I enjoy this work so much, because it is something like my hobby. What is more, I also teach English language individually, at home. Being a teacher is my dream job since my childhood.
Regarding my other experience with children, I also worked in summer camps. In the camps, I was expected to look after children, prepare variety of activities so the children enjoyed being in the camp and they had fun as well. These children were about 12 years old. In one camp, there were about 60 children. They were divided into groups and in each group there were about 10-12 children, so I was responsible to take care of children in one of these groups.
I would like to work as an English teacher or au-pair in Canada. The reason is that I love children as well as I love teaching. As I stated, teaching and childcare is more of a hobby for me than a true career. I have a good relationship with the students I teach and with people at all. I always do my work with passion. The reason why I love teaching and working with children is the fact that when I am around them, I feel happy and free to express myself without feeling judged. I love that no single day at work is the same. Moreover, children often expect from adults to know exactly what they are talking about. Hence, being in company with them makes me a well-informed person.
To describe myself, I have teaching and communication skills. People can always rely on me or ask for help at any time. Responsibility, flexibility, discipline and courage are things which also describe my personality. Moreover, I am a creative person and children always love fun ideas and creative activities, games and being entertained. I know what it means to keep children safe as well as understand them and communicate with them on their level.
Regarding my hobbies and free time, I like reading, spending also like travelling, spending time with my family and friends. Sometimes I spend a free time with my younger cousins (10-years old and 13-years old) and my little niece, who is 2 years old.
I am always willing to learn new things and self-educate. In my free time, I do sport. The sport activities I prefer are running, in-line skating, biking, and fitness. Besides, I like travelling and adventure. I am a person who always want to experience something new, visit a new country or experience different cultures. Regarding this, I was in Canada for one month in 2018. I was studying English at ILAC in Toronto. In 2019, I was working in Santa Cruz, California for three months. Visiting Canada and USA offered me a new perspective and new opportunities in life. It gave me a chance to travel the world and what is more, motivated me to experience new things in my life.
My aim and ambition in life is to move to Canada for a longer period of time and do there job which I love-work with children( teaching or au-pair). What is more, Canada is my dream country. I would be glad and it would make me happy if I will be offered a job in Canada for a longer period of time. Whether It will be countryside, suburb or a big city, tI does not matter.

Best wishes,
Kristina
