MARIA F.

My name is Maria Garyfalia Fassari, I am 22 years old and I an a graduate of the faculty of English Languange and Literature (overall grade 8.5). I am fluent in English (C2 level) and Italian (B2-C1 level) and can also communicate efficiently in Russian (A2-B1 level). Within the context of the practicum course, I had the opportunity to teach English at a public Gymnasium in Kypseli, as well as attend two educational seminars concerning collaborative leaning and the utilization of literature for educational purposes. I have also worked occasionally with the children of some friends, who needed help or guidance as far as the English language is concerned. In general, I believe that I am a very patient and calm individual who is willing to co-operate with children of all ages, as well as with their families. PET SITTING: At the same time, I decided to pursue pet sitting as well, as I am very fond of animals, since I am the guardian of two pets (one dog and one cat). In the past, I have also contributed as a volunteer to a local animal shelter (empty the cages), which was open to receiving volunteers once per week.
