Description
Hello my name is Gati.Iam 34 years old. I have been teaching since 2008, and three years ago I started my private English school in my house in Karanggedong, Ngadirejo, Temanggung, Central Java.
I live with my husband Fajar and my two lovely kids Kenand and Chika, who are 7and 13years old. We like animals very much, in fact we have a rooster, chickens, geese, a parrot .
Most of my students don't have enough chances to communicate in Kindergarten and it is rare to meet English speakers in their class. For this reason, every day I hold English private lessons for children and teenagers of the surrounding area together with a group of teachers that help me. There are 9 paid, local teachers in my staff. I would gladly welcome any volunteer who is fluent in English and is willing to teach the language to the children. We are looking for someone that loves children and is comfortable playing with them.
In exchange for your help, I can offer you accommodation at my house, where I will provide you with a room and Javanese food such as kupat tahu, fried rice, porridge, fried tempeh, cassava, tofu, etc.
Here you will be able to experience the life in a traditional Javanese village. Life here is very community based: you will not only spend time with my family, but also with my several friends who are always excited to show you our culture and help you explore the area. They are also very interested in getting to know your culture and show you their way of living and their businesses: a close friend of mine will welcome you at her beauty saloon!
There are many beautiful places you can visit in your free time. Near my village there is a Hindu temple, from which you can see the beautiful scenery of the Sindoro Mountain and Sumbing Mountain and swim in the pool from the cold-water source "Kolam Cinta". Other interesting destinations in the area are: Possong valley,embung bansari, the Curug Surodipo waterfall and the Borobudur Temple in Magelang, which is the biggest Buddhist temple in the world.
If you want to know more, don't hesitate to contact me :)

Aide
Volunteering as a teacher at my home means helping the students to practice their English by motivating and training them to speak English.
During our lessons we use the "fun method" which involves organizing and playing many games with the children, in order to make them learn by doing and having fun. For this reason, we really appreciate help from volunteers that enjoy spending time with kids and having fun with them.
The usual working hours are approximately 25 hours per week. From Monday to Saturday, you will usually teach 2 to 4 classes per day,most commonly 3 classes. Each class lasts for 1 hour, and the workday typically starts around 12:00 or 1:00 PM. This means you will have plenty of free time in the morning to rest, explore, or prepare for the day.
In the mornings, you’re welcome to take a walk, go for a swim, or visit some of the beautiful spots around our area. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the surroundings and experience the local atmosphere.
In addition, we have online classes every Monday and Wednesday at 8:00 PM.
As for the remaining hours, we would greatly appreciate it if you could help clean up after yourself, just as any member of the family would. This might include small tasks like sweeping or washing the dishes.

Hébergement
In exchange for your help, I can offer you two types of accommodation. One of which is free the other will be at a small charge per day that you stay. This is because it is a newly built room and on the second floor of the house, making it more private. It is 100% your choice and I will discuss the details through message.
You can have Javanese food at least 3 times per day. Whenever you want, you can help yourself to tea, coffee or cooking, if it is your hobby.
Autres infos...
The closest airport and train station to our place is in Yogyakarta, but it can also be reached from other cities by bus or train. I can help you to organize your way to arrive here.
My hobby is collecting fridge magnets so if it's not too much to ask please could you bring a magnet from your country or from the country you're flying from. If possible, it would also be amazing if you could bring a short childrens storybook in English. Thank you!
You can bring earplug here,because in the morning many sounds of animals ,like chickens and goats also a beautiful song from the mosque.
