I thought they were very professional and nice people. Very helpful and honest. I wish there were Spainish lessons but everything else was great.

Duncan was sick from a yellow fever vaccination, and he helped us out at times, doing everything he could. Duncan is a good person, and we communicated very well. Thank you, Duncan.

The school is a great school, and Edwin and the staff are so welcoming and helpful! One thing I wasn't aware is that they have different locations, so I went to La Dorada (one hour away) for my first week. It can be a little isolating if you're on your own, but my second two weeks were lovely as I shared the apartment in Mariquita with another volunteer. There was an unexpected weather situation while there, but no fault to the school! You need to be a little flexible with your schedule, but Edwin listens to what you want. I also recommend visiting local gems like Cuidad Perdida de Falan!

I loved the experience at Poli Superior Institute. I was able to have a real impact helping the students with their English studies while at the same time exchanging stories and having fun. The hosting experience was really good and left plenty of time for me to explore the town and go to the gym. The town is really friendly and safe and it's a nice change from the chaotic environment of big cities. The other teachers at the institute are really helpful and they will let you know how to prepare materials and how to handle the classes. Would recommend the volunteer work and would do it again!

Christian is an excellent person, he is very responsable, proactive, on time and creative. It was an amazing experience. Our students and teachers really enjoyed the time he was with us. All the time he was ready to help us, because he is very friendly, children and students in general loved his english classes.

My friend and I had a really great time with Poli Superior!!! We lived by ourself in a big apartment above one of the school locations and got money every week for food which was a pure luxury! The staff is amazing, they really took us in and invited us on day trips, festivities and hang out. The experience with teaching kids was also awesome and really giving for us both as a cultural experience and learning Spanish. We were overall really happy about it as it was very structured and properly done- huge recommendation!

An experience that made us feel useful. We stayed two weeks and it was very nice. The children and staff are adorable and are used to welcoming international people. They make sure we have a good experience. I completely recommend this volunteering!

I had a fantastic time volunteering at the school. The students and the staff were both great, and Edwin, the program manager, is extremely accommodating and willing to help with whatever you need. Occasionally, you will be asked to teach classes without another teacher, which can be difficult if you don't speak Spanish. However, even if you don't, the students do their best to work with you. If you want to escape to a remote town and truly immerse yourself in the culture, I wholeheartedly recommend the school.

Okay, guys, this has to be the best volunteer possible. Eduin is what I call a super host. Don't feel intimidated by the place being in the middle of nowhere. It's a very safe area and beautiful nature a long the way. Whatever you don't take the rapido tolima bus. The bolivariano bus is 100 times better, and it's the same price. The kids and teachers are super cool. They are going to make you feel comfortable and at home. I wish we could stay longer, but we had tickets already. Everything is pretty walkable. The place where we stayed was great. You can rent washers, they bring it to you.
