LIfe so far

Hi, my name is Paul W and I´m the only male tutor in the month of May. My experience in general down here has been quite interesting to say the least. Tutoring young children let alone in another language is demanding. My spanish skills at the beginning were not up to par according to my standards but I´ve made great improvements and I feel confident with my spanish skills after two weeks. It´s been a great experience working with the kids because they really grow on you. I feel like in the next to weeks it will be very difficult to say goodbye after building friendships with all of them. As many of the officers of the club know their have been a few problems between some of the tutors and the family concerning money and food. Rather then go into details, I will say they were mainly due to communication issues. I live on a seperate floor then the girls with the grandparents so the issues that affected them really had no bearing to me. The grandparents have been extremely kind and treat me as if I was one of their one children. They make me a snack everyday to go along with the lunch that is given at the tutoring site. At first I was the only person on the floor with the grandparents and Fernando, their autistic son, then Joe from social came after the first week. Any males reading this post will have a great time with Joe, the grandparents, and Fernando. They are all tremendous.
