Teaching Volunteer

You dont have to be a teacher to volunteer on our teaching volunteer. There is no need to have a TEFL qualification to gain work experience in any of our four schools. You dont even need to speak the local language where you are in Ratamata. The programme is open to all volunteers whether you are on a gap year, at university or wanting a career break. All we require is a good standard of spoken English.

You will find a warm welcome awaits you amongst our students in Ratamatas schools. Often their local teachers are very capable of teaching the structural aspects of the English language - such as the grammar - but do not use the correct intonation or pronunciation, because they lack the confidence of a native speaker. In most of our schools by providing conversational English teaching you can greatly enhance the learning experience and the future prospects of hundreds of children with whom we work in Ratamata, Sindhuli.

The amount of timetabled English lessons per week that you will teach but you may just teach two or three classes, in other cases you may just teach in the morning for example. You will also need to take time to prepare your lessons and you may often be asked to mark students work.
