💼 What the programme involves
If you love teaching and being with children, experiencing Tanzania as a community teacher is something you will really enjoy!
We have strong relationships with various primary, secondary, and high schools around the Monduli district in need of teaching support and community leaders who would like us to organize English learning programs in the local village hall. You will have the chance to teach mathematics and science for higher level students.
You will be assisting local teachers to teach basic English by exchanging songs, and playing educational games. You may also lead the children through activities like handicrafts, sports, drawing, coloring, writing and more! A lot of the children here are quite young and require attention as well as activities to keep them stimulated in order to assist their growth.
Feel free to bring teaching materials such as games, colour pencils, erasers, English language books, and even clothes and toys to donate! We recommend you also bring pictures or other small objects representing your country of origin, which you could also turn into an educational lesson that will really broaden the children's world!
Aims & Objectives :
Improve the village children's English and widen their cultural interactions,
Provide you with teaching experience, an invaluable life skill!
Assist the program staff with extra hands.
