This project is looking for up to 10 volunteers to teach English language for the 2010 school year. Volunteers are required from early February until December 2010. Teachers will have the option to teach pre-school level up though high school level students. Teachers will be able to request which grade levels they prefer. An English language easy-to-follow curriculum will be provided for all grade levels, but teachers are always free to be creative and work outside the curriculum when planning lessons.
The school prefers people who are able to make at least a 6 month commitment, but length of service is flexible depending on individual circumstances. No prior education experience or knowledge of Spanish is necessary. The only requirement is that volunteers have some experience of working with children. A bilingual American program coordinator will provide orientation, training and ongoing support during the entire length of service with the school.
In their spare time volunteers have the opportunity to teach private English lessons to gain extra spending money or take private Spanish classes. Private Spanish classes are free for volunteers.
Volunteers receive free housing, meals, an airport pick-up, and a £20 monthly stipend. The project will also pay 25% of your round trip airfare. Volunteers have the option of living in a house with other English speaking volunteers working at the school or with a local family.
