Expanish Teach English in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Expanish Teach English volunteer program, provides participating volunteers with the chance to volunteer in various schools, educational facilities and centers helping educate youths and adults in Buenos Aires
The Program
Volunteers will have the chance to volunteer in various schools, educational facilities and centers helping educate youths and adults in Buenos Aires.
Range of responsibilities
Volunteers will have the opportunity to offer their teaching services to locals who have little or no contact with native English speakers and who are eager to learn. Many of these locals are genuinely interested in spending quality time with volunteers, providing the chance to positively interact with the residents of Buenos Aires. Students may be from all types of different backgrounds and ages allowing volunteers to have the rewarding experience of making a real difference in their student’s education. An outgoing personality and ability to motivate a group are essential as volunteers will be involved in the teaching of English, preparation of classes and / or assisting local teachers.
Why this project needs you
Having a working knowledge of the English language is becoming increasingly important for many Argentines, opening up opportunities in both the education and professional sectors. The opportunities for teaching are endless whether your interests lie in tutoring young children, or assisting adults, we are sure to have a placement that suits your needs.
Culture Shock
You will have the option of choosing from a high culture shock project (such as working in a local shanty town) to a low culture shock project (such as a community center).
Requirements
All volunteers need to take two weeks of Spanish group classes before the starting their volunteer program. You will find that the two weeks of Spanish will help you immensely in not only communicating with your colleagues, but also the people you are there to help and make for a richer experience. The more Spanish you know, the greater amount of tasks you will find yourself involved with as English may not always be spoken. In addition, nonnative English speakers will need to have a TEFL teaching qualification.
