| A brief description of your family, its interests & hobbies |
| I'm registering here as I'm in sort of a predicament. I've graduated with a BA in creative writing (topical minor in Asian Culture) from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire (USA). I've been offered a place at Aberystwyth Wales University to study for my Masters (possibly Doctorate) in scriptwriting which starts September 27th 2010. I'm moving to the UK in July/August. So I'm in need of a home-stay or some other accommodations that are trustworthy and safe. I'm hoping that I can do a few things to curtail costs, like offer to tutor with this program in exchange for a place to stay. I'm currently tutoring foreign students here in Eau Claire going for their High School/General Education Degree (GED), and I have studied five other languages including Chinese and Japanese. So I am fully versed in the problems second language learners face. Anyways please consider me on here, as I'm somewhat in a dire straits sort of situation.
Thanks, Krist Martin |
Course requirements
| What language are you learning? | Mandarin |
| Tuition hours wanted per day | 0 |
| How would you rate your language skills | Specialised |
| How long would you want to stay? |
4 weeks |
| What sex do you want the tutor to be? | Either |
| Would you like your host to have experience of any of the following? | No |
| Would you stay with a host who smokes? | Yes |
| Do you want your own bedroom? | Doesn't matter |
| What are you looking for in your host / tutor |
| As I described above I'm just needing a safe place to stay while I get settled in the UK and wait for my new term to start. I'll take a cot and a back closet so long as I can sleep there and leave my few bags there without worry of them being stolen. |
| Why would you be an ideal student and/or guest? |
| I'm clean, organized, I can cook clean sew, I speak English, I'm willing to teach and tutor other foreign students, I'm willing to pay, though I'm a poor student (as most are) so I'd be limited in what I can pay but I'd certainly try my hardest to do what I can. I just don't want to live in the US anymore and I'm very much wanting to become acclimated to British culture before starting in on a two year endeavor to attain my doctorate degree in scriptwriting. |
