You’ll help by:
Leading conversation clubs on topics like:
Airport & travel vocabulary
Ordering at cafés & restaurants
Everyday life & common expressions
Informal slang and practical phrases
Supporting basic grammar sessions (guided by local teachers), sometimes volunteers will have a group where they can take them from one level and take them to a higher level.
Participating in our fun and dynamic “Street Classes” — outdoor lessons where we walk through the streets of Acacías practicing English and filming short videos for our social media.
Assisting in our popular "English Immersion Day" — a full-day bilingual field trip packed with creative activities and immersive learning experiences!
If you have any artistic talents (painting, drawing, singing, etc.), we’d love for you to share them with our students!
