Join us as we improve English in the community to help children and adults have more opportunities. As a small city in Colombia most people have not learned English, therefore teaching with us will have a big impact. Your role as an English teacher will be lead a class from Monday to Friday using the materials and lesson plans provided. These lesson typically involve groups of 5 students in a classroom equipped with a laptop, a video projector and a sound system. The lessons will use an Oxford textbook, presentations and speaking and listening activities. There will be 2 or 3 other classes running at the same time taught by other volunteers. The manager will always be in the school while volunteer are working to provide assistance and feedback.
Our school in Ibagué is located in a nice area surrounded by 3 huge shopping centers with supermarkets, cinemas, gyms and restaurants. You can get to Ibagué from the capital Bogotá by bus taking only 3-4 hours.
We have an amazing teaching volunteer program that has been running for 11 years. We have received around 110 volunteers so far.
Volunteers must teach 20 hours per week, 4
hours per day from Monday to Friday.
We expect from the volunteers to be willing to learn and help all the students, be on time, responsible and professional. We will provide a teaching training and support throughout the program. All equipment will be provided by us.
