I know a Singaporean kindergarden teacher who give Mandarin lessons to foreign children. She teaches some French, British, American children and the children like her pretty much. I am not sure if she is available but I can always make an introduction.

Hi,

I have gotten my license sometime ago but not yet much of a chance to take a boat out to the sea. If anyone need a diver would like to be one.

The test for the license can be quite tricky, need a lot of luck too.
