Teach English in Guatemala
Program Category:
Teaching
When you volunteer to teach English you work with Children: to provide them with a safe environment, support, supervision, socialization, and education in a range of subjects including English, Math, Art, and Sports. Or with Adults to provide them support, supervision, socialization and to help them develop their own skills, be more independent and be able to help develop their community.
This program is designed for
This program is especially designed for students following a teacher education program, professional teachers and tutors, and everyone willing to teach and share some valuable time with those willing to learn a Second Language to improve their possibilities of a better future.
Volunteer Responsibilities
The schools throughout Guatemala are in desperate need of extra help with their English, Maths, Science, Sports, Music, Dance and ICT classes. English increasingly becomes the language of business and opportunity. Fluency in English creates more opportunities for children when they leave school. Math is always something that teachers find complicated to teach and many teachers do not have any experience in ICT. We like to encourage you to bring new and innovative teaching methods to the classrooms. Give classes on your own as a teacher, you look at where the need is most in terms of teaching and step in where is needed. Sometimes there are not enough teachers and you will teach a class yourself. It is also possible that the teacher is there and you will teach the class together. The teacher can learn from your teaching methodologies by observing and joining the teaching.
