Home-Aide is also related to my experience working as an English teacher at Kid Castle in Wenzhou, China, where I spent 11 months teaching numerous classes of children aging from 4-18 years old. The curriculum was mainly focused on teaching the common English vocabulary, some differences between the Canadian-English culture compared to theirs, organizing simple games to help children understand the language and providing additional assistance and tutoring to students that require it. I am also a great cook, very clean and physically fit to do basic home maintenance. PRICING The price of services will be consistent with all clients regardless of the type of services they require.
