English or French Teacher Required in Las Galeras

[Jasper]

My family will be moving to Montreal in a few months and I require a teacher to give daily lessons (2 hrs daily) for the next 3-4 months or so. One language or the other. Doesn't matter, though I would prefer a native speaker. Experience preferred. Lessons would be given at our location.

Just a suggestion. Ask Lolo (everyone in the village can direct you to the house). She is native French, Brittany or Normandy I believe, and is fairly fluent in English, and fluent in Spanish. She sometimes teaches arts & crafts to the kids, maybe she would consider your request. If not, she might know who does. Perhaps her older son, Robinson if he is home from S.D.? Tell her Stan, el gringo viejo, came up with the bright idea. I could dig up her phone # & email if you want, just pm me. I'll be gone for a week but back on May 30. Stan.

I'd have figured Robinson for 15 or 16. Well mannered young lad. Maybe you could try Mr. Johnston at the local school LOL. He teaches English there. Sort of!! Too bad you can't wait till December. Lilian is a teacher. Mind you, when La Rubia fria, Michelle asked her for English lessons, she said no, so I became a part time teacher for a few sessions. Good luck. Stan.

Hi, im Lisa, I am a Quebecer speaking both languages ( french as mother
tongue) Unfortunately I live in Santo Domingo...cant teach you
I think that Las Galeras is near Samana right?

I would like to give you an advice... the french we speak in Quebec
is VERY VERY different than the french they speak in France...
So...find yourself a Quebecer !!!

Any questions you might have about Quebec, feel free to ask me

Hi-

My girlfriend and I are moving to Las Galeras or Las Terrenas in Feb. She is looking for a paid or volunteer opportunity to teach English in the area. She is proficient in Spanish and English.

Thanks for the help!

lemunch, if you look on left side of previous post to yours you'll see that this thread dates from 2004 so don't be too disappointed if you don't get a response from the original poster.
