Children’s Teaching participants can choose between one of the two options: volunteer full-time (Monday to Friday) at our kindergarten school or volunteer 3 days a week at the kindergarten school + 2 days a week with older children at the local public school.

At the Kindergarten school, our participants assist the local school teachers with the day-to-day running of the classes. The classes are held in the mornings for 3-4 hours per day for children aged from 3-6 years old. Typical activities include teaching basic English (reading and writing), playing educational games, socializing with the children and caring for them by giving them attention and warmth in an intimate environment. This project is ideal for participants who like spending time with young children and nurturing them.

At the local public school (for children aged 6-14 years), participants are expected to run their own classes (with guidance and support from our education coordinators). The school we work with thoroughly lacks adequate local English teachers to teach English, so the need and impact of this project is strong. Participants need to plan their own lessons on a daily basis (approximately 1-2 hours each day) with support from our staff, but the ultimate responsibility lies with the participants. Typical class size ranges from 10-30 students.

Recommended Attire: A conservative dress code needs to be adhered to while at the project. Knees and shoulders must be covered, as well as any tattoos or body art. Additionally, participants need to wear our blue cotton teaching coats during their sessions which we will provide. Rest of the clothing can be comfortable and casual.
