Subject: Looking for live-in tutoring position starting spring 2009

Greetings!

My name is Jonathan and I am an American (Master's) student in Theology and 
Ancient History. I am seeking to return to Israel in February for 3-6 months 
in order to improve my (very basic) Hebrew and immerse myself in Israeli 
culture. I would like to stay with an observant (not necessarily orthodox) 
Israeli family in Jerusalem or the vicinity, and work in exchange for room 
and a small stipend. I will offer you some combination of: - English 
conversation practice for the family.

I have 3 years experience as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, 
and can help your family improve dramatically. - tutoring services for your 
children. Languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Latin, or Classical 
Greek. I am fluent in German and can teach grammar and vocabulary for all 
the others. I have experience both as a private tutor and a teacher of 
gifted children. I can also help prepare your children for the American SAT 
or ACT college entrance tests (I have near-perfect scores). - garden-work: I 
enjoy gardening and am willing to help in the garden, and also with cooking 
or other basic household chores. In turn, I will be seeking: - small, simple 
room with some measure of privacy; Internet access a plus. - some time off 
on evenings or weekends to take a Hebrew course at a local ulpan. - a 
stipend to cover my additional living and travel costs. - and above all, a 
good working relationship with my host family, in which we can learn from 
and about each others' language and culture. Terms and dates are negotiable.

I would be more than happy to present references and a curriculum vitae upon 
request. Please send me an email if you would like to discuss arrangements 
further.

Jonathan.
