My experience at SALC Riobamba was good. The apartment for volunteers is great and all of the teachers and people in administration is so kind and helpful. The work itself gets a bit repetitive after a week as you're doing speaking with the students and you mostly talk about the same thing for hours. But I know this is something that they are working on, so that volunteers have more materials to work with the students. Lunch and dinner is not provided as it says here on Worldpackers, but you get payed 5$ a day to cover anything you need to buy.

Nora y su compañera fueron de gran ayuda en la escuela en la actividad que necesitamos que nos ayuden, como les explicamos en un principio el trabajo consiste en hacer speaking con los estudiantes no en ninguna forma de enseñanza o tutoría, por lo cual dejamos libre la temática de cada conversación y sesión de conversación que tienen con los estudiantes tanto para conocer la cultura propia del país y de los estudiantes como la de los extranjeros que nos visitan y nos ayudan con los estudiantes

I had a great time at SALC Riobamba. The staff was very welcoming and even picked me up from the bus station when I arrived. I had to work 5 hours per day for 5 days a week and this schedule was always honored. Even when they had to change the schedule because of the electricity cuts, they told me beforehand and made sure I still only worked 5 hours per day. I would recommend this experience for anyone with fluent English.

I first spent two weeks at SALC Guayaquil, then six weeks at SALC Riobamba. At both locations, I conducted English speaking sessions with students for five hours every weekday. In both Guayaquil and Riobamba, the students were very friendly, and I enjoyed talking with them about many topics. The staff at both schools were also helpful, and we spent many hours chatting during lunch or after school hours. My day climbing on Chimborazo was the best. I would recommend this experience for anyone interested in helping Ecuadorian students with their English skills.

This experience offers a welcoming environment where I've improved my Spanish. The staff treats me with respect, and I've made friends from around the world. Exploring the beautiful city and its culture every weekend is a joy. Highly recommend!

Working at SALC in Riobamba was a great experience! Everyone at the school has been super welcoming (both teachers and students), what made the work very enjoyable, even if it can get a bit monotonous at times. I also felt very comfortable in the flat, which is located directly in the school. Last but not least, the city of Riobamba has many good and cheap restaurants and offers many opportunities for activities (especially hiking - and you can also see the Chimborazo from the school). All in all, I would have loved to stay longer!
