Hello,

I am interested in coming to Florida for August to work for the month.  I currently live in Mexico, where I teach English to children and adults, with levels from beginner, beginner to advanced.  I like to keep my classes spontaneous and interesting, and especially for children, I try to engage their interest though creative projects and games.  Coming as I do from New Zealand, I have a love of the outdoors, and am capable in sports such as hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking and horse riding.

I am available for the whole month of August and I would very much like the opportunity to try my hand at the summer camp lifestyle.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Jodi Spring.

Hello,

I saw your ad on Loquo. I am an English teacher from New Zealand with two solid years of experience in teaching, on top of part time tutoring and teaching over the past five years.

I have a TEFL certificate from Unitec in Windsor and also a Bachelor of English Literature
I love teaching children, especially through hands on activities such as painting and crafts, as well as physical activities and games to entertain them and ensure that they have fun while they learn.  I have taught many teenage classes, both on the cusp of puberty (11 to 14) and older students as well.  While it can be a difficult age to really engage interest in learning, I enjoy the challenge and the pleasure in seeing them forget themselves and have fun, whilst retaining purpose of the lessons.  Having the experience of learning French, Spanish and Catalan, I understand the difficulties of learning a language.  I can speak Catalan a little bit and I understand Spanish, but I do not speak it very well. I live in Barcelona, but I used to commute to Mataro for classes, so I am quite used to have to travel for work.

Thanks you very much for you time.

Regards,
Jodi Spring

Good Morning,

We spoke on the phone earlier, here is the information you asked for.  I am a 26 year old New Zealander. I have a Diploma of Performance Technology from Royal Holloway University in London.   I have worked on many shows as a director’s assistant, lighting operator and as a props creator, sometimes all at once.  I feel that I can perform all these roles with equal skill I have lived in Barcelona for around two months, but I intend to make it my home.  Prior to that I lived in New Zealand, but I have also spent seven months living in Paris and six travelling around Europe in between my studies. I would like the opportunity to travel again with a performance company of a small size like yours. I learnt French and Spanish at University. As French was the latter, and I have lived in France, it is the language I have a higher knowledge of.  My Spanish comprehension is still ok, but I find it difficult at present to converse in this language.  However I have plans to learn it after I have mastered the current language I am studying which is Catalan. This means I am also able to act as a translator and guide on tour. I also write creatively, at present I am working on a screenplay, but my favourite model is the short story.

Please feel free to contact my references for any extra information regarding my character.

Jodi Spring
