Help Teach English and share your culture

Working for Emilia was a lot of fun. She's a really hard-working, inspiring and motivating person, but at the same time very patient and spontaneous. She never gets angry, when things don't go as planned or when the volunteer (me) locks himself out of his room at 3am - haha. Also her students in the school are really fun and eager to learn. Teaching English to someone that only speaks Spanish really helps you to improve both your Spanish and English. I loved every second of it, thank you so much Emilia! <3

I really enjoyed my time volunteering at the school. Emilia was a lovely and welcoming host. Teaching the classes was more of a challenge than I expected at the start as I went in thinking I would be assisting teaches, but it was a rewarding experience and I had a lot of support. Juan Pablo (another teacher at the school) was very helpful and happy to answer any questions I had. This was a great respite from a couple of months of travelling as the town and house are very relaxing. Everyone in the town was very friendly and I felt very safe here.

In just one week Emilia and her colleagues and friends helped me to immerse myself into the Boyacan culture. Besides work, I played Tejo, Bolirana and learned some new Spanish words and learned about the culture and work. You sleep in a cool house in Tuta and work in Paipa. It's cool to actually stay a week in this friendly town and become friends with the people. It felt like home! It's also a sportive city and you can find enough coffee corners :) Emilia herself is always busy, so take good care of her. She is funny, just like her friends!

The students are absolutely wonderful! I have taught english before but even if you havent its pretty simple to pick up and the students are fun and helpful. The house in the countryside is cute and the cat and dogs out there are sweet! Make sure you plan on making all of your own meals! If you are wanting to socialize a lot this isn't the place but it is a great place to teach english and have some peaceful time in the countryside. You need to be pretty independent to do this one but I enjoyed it! It gets cold so pack accordingly! Thanks Emily! So much love!

The experience in the school was overall good, the classes are easy to handle and the students are very nice and respectful. The stay is in Tuta, which is a rural area and the school is in Paipa, which is a cute city. If you expect to have social life I don't recommend it but if you are instead looking for a relaxing time with beautiful nature and great food, then it is perfect.

Had a wonderful time here. The students are great and learn you a lot of both the language and the culture. You also have a lot of responsibility for the classes right from the beginning as the host Emilia is a very busy girl (a lot of things going on at the same time). She always has a positive attitude and always laughs. The town Paipa where you work is both safe and lovely with wonderful people & amazing food and also Tuta (where you live) Ps, you will need 8-10 dollars/euros a day for the bus-ride (20-30 mins) and for food everyday. Highly recommend!!

I loved my experience at the school! If I could of stayed longer I honestly would have:) Emilia is super fun, caring and lovely! Teaching, even for a novice like me was great. I learnt alot, it sparked up a passion and I'm now looking at more teaching opportunities. Everyone I met in Paipa were so nice and welcoming, food is super fresh & everything is so affordable. It was really relaxing to chill and have fulfilling days. Would love to come back and visit!

I've done other volunteers before, but this was my first experience teaching and it was really nice to connect with locals, definitely an interesting challenge to teach English to Spanish speakers when I don't speak Spanish so well, but I think I managed just fine in the end. The house where you stay is far from the city where the school is located, but it's very comfortable and there are frequent buses. Emilia, the host, is super sweet. The only problem maybe is that I was expecting 3 meals and 50k pesos per week is not enough to cover that. Overall though, it was a very rich experience :)

Mi tiempo en la escuela fue de lo más lindo para comenzar mis voluntariados en Colombia! Boyacá es un lugar lleno de hermosos paisajes y naturaleza! Emilia te recibe desde el primer día con una sonrisa y te hace sentir como en casa <3 yo llegue a la escuela para ayudar con las redes sociales, los horarios son bastante flexibles y el trabajo es tranquilo! Recomiendo mucho esta experiencia y más si estás buscando escaparte un poco de la ciudad :)
