💼 What the programme involves
OVERVIEW : Teach English at a local primary or secondary school in rural areas of Northern Peru!
Your main objective will be to plan and conduct fun classes to help the children learn English, a skill that will prove invaluable as they get older and help local communities. As this area of Peru is slowly becoming a popular tourist destination, locals could create jobs for themselves instead of tourism getting taken over by international companies the way it has happened in other areas of Peru. --
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION : During this program, you will be teaching at local primary or secondary schools in nearby villages, all of which are within a 30 minute drive from the accommodation. You will be driven to the school each morning on a minibus.
You can conduct classes in varied and dynamic ways, with activities such as games, dramas, songs, and movies that will help the students learn English in a fun way!
Your input at these schools is invaluable to support the language learning of local Peruvian children. --

Schedule : Monday to Friday. You will teach half-days from Monday to Friday, either in the morning or the afternoon for about 3-4 hours. The other half of the day is likely to be spent planning classes and teaching material.
