This year’s camp is coming, and as a tradition we want to introduce you our tutors. We travelled around the world – just virtually, unfortunately! – and halfway across the world, in Australia, we had the pleasure to meet Jonathan, our fourth grade teacher.

The first time we met him he immediately impressed us with his vitality and enthusiasm and we are sure he will look the same to your eyes!

 

Introduce yourself to our camp community!

My name is Jonathan and I’m a 26-year-old disability support career from Australia. I am an enthusiastic person who likes to encourage others and really enjoy assisting the kids I work with through schooling, diet, exercise and general life skills. I like writing and have a university degree in Journalism, plus experience writing for various newspapers and websites. I enjoy keeping active as well and my favourite sport to play is basketball. I am also an Italian citizen as well as Australian (thanks to my mother!) and plan to travel around Italy after the camp to hopefully experience the Italian culture and learn about my heritage!

Why did you choose to be part of our camp?

I enjoy working with young people and also travelling and meeting new people from different cultures. The camp seemed to be a great opportunity to do both while teaching English in a fun environment! Plus as the name of the camp states… “Why not?!”

What “kind” of teacher will you be at the camp?

I will be hard working and organised, but love to have a laugh and keep things entertaining as well. I also value teamwork and making sure everyone feels included. My approach is always cheerful and optimistic so I hope my class has a lot of fun while learning some English along the way! Looking forward to the opportunity to teach at the camp!

A very good start, isnt’ it? Stay tuned for the next episode of #MeetTheTeam…
