Excellent English Learning Center

Excellent English Learning Center is located in my house, in Bondowoso, East Java. This small town is a peaceful place and close to nature. The volunteers will live in my house with my family and me. They will have a chance to experience local life style, shopping in traditional market, looking around the city and meeting local people at spare time. The traveller will understand how locals learn English. The volunteers need to be patient and friendly because the children might be shy to meet foreigners. Native speakers are most welcomed. However, if you are non native but have great English spoken and teaching skill, yes please! The volunteers will be taught Indonesian Language if they wish. For the Gym lovers I will provide their first time acces for free at Fitness Center. We also provide private floor with bedroom, bathroom and balcony for the volunteer in my house.

IMPORTANT: Unfortunetaly, I cannot accept unmarried couple.

How to reach my location:
From Surabaya / Juanda Airport - Bungur Asih Bus Station -Take the Ladju Patas Bus to Bondowoso or Take a train station to Gubeng - Jember
From Bali -Ketapang Harbour Banyuwangi - Jember - Bondowoso


There is no train station in Bondowoso, if you go by train, you will drop in Jember. You can take a grab car from Jember to Bondowoso

I am Elen the owner of Excellent English course. The classrooms are located in my own house so not far away to go. English is highly demanded in this area. I'm looking for volunteers to help me teaching children. The volunteer need to be calm, patient and kid friendly. Perhaps, it will be a bit effort to teach kid at age 5-6 because they like to play. Let's do both playing while learning English. Besides, I need the volunteer's help to clean the classroom before we begin the class. Let's do it together. At my home, there are my husband, my mom, my toddler son and me. We will treat the volunteer as our family. I am the only one that speaks English but my family is eager to communicate with you too. IMPORTANT: House rules: no drinking alcohol, drugs, weapons or ostensible LGBT items and no smoking inside my home. We will provide local food for 3x meals per day. We also provide private floor with bedroom, bathroom and balcony for the volunteer in my house. Thanks for your kindness! Would love to see you soon! God bless!

My experience in Bondowoso has been quite something, especially considering that it was my first time in Asia. I’ve been immersed in the local culture from the very first day.
The school is an amazing way to get to know the kids and even their parents.
Last, but not least, Elen has been very welcoming even before my arrival.
She’s very caregiving and respectful.
It’s has been an amazing experience!

A volunteering stay in Bondowoso is exactly what volunteering abroad is all about. The kids are great and you’ll get a cultural exchange of all the little city of Bondowoso has to offer. Elen will show you some nearby local sights and I even spent our day out with the whole family. The kids warm up to you and are super sweet and a fun experience teaching many english levels. Would definitely recommend

My experience in this volunteer program was excellent.
I gained a deep cultural understanding of the people here, their traditions, and beliefs.
I also had the pleasure of seeing beautiful places, tasting local foods, talking to locals, and teaching English to children and teenagers — which, honestly, has been a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend this volunteer program not only for the cultural exchange but also because of Helen, the host, and her family. They made me feel like part of their family from the very first moment with their warmth and kindness

I have been very welcome into this volunteering even before I would step in Java. It's located in a small city but very close to the nature so I feel very relaxed. The students are very different so it keeps the daily routine very interesting. Elen was always available to show me around or just chatting about anything and her family made me feel part of it even tho they can't speak English. I really enjoyed the short time I spent there. Thank you.
