Program Details

Our school aims to help local students grow both in gaining a high level of English, traditional cultures and life skills. The students here are very friendly and adorable, and they also like to communicate with foreigners as well. We wish to provide an opportunity for volunteers to learn and gain valuable skills. School staff takes pride in being able to support their volunteers and ensure that their experience is rewarding for volunteers.

As an Education Assistant, you will provide your knowledge as an educator,and share your experiences about the world, inspire children to learn and pursue further education. You will work directly with assigned teachers (including the host teacher), participate in activities both inside and outside the classroom, and be engaged with the community through intercultural events throughout the school year.

Activities & Shift

Each volunteer will be required to teach a maximum of 5 hours per day (- 8:00 am - 11:00 am and 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm) from Monday to Friday, leaving you weekends to explore surrounding areas.

-Meals: We provide three meals per day, including a private kitchen with local, seasonal fresh food, and fruits. We believe that preparing meals together in the kitchen is a wonderful way of interacting with family members and friends, it creates lifetime memories
-Accommodation: Volunteers will stay at our school's guesthouse, the comfortable house has 6 bedrooms and rooms located over 3 floors with 1 – 2 volunteers per room. Each floor has its own bathroom with western-style facilities and hot showers. Fans and air-conditioning are available for comfort during the summer months and bed linen is provided so volunteers need only bring personal toiletries and towels.
