Great volunteering experience! Kind and communicative volunteer coordinators, also extremely helpful with any unexpected changes during the experience. The kids were active and eager to learn English, which was wonderful for learning process! Note: Knowledge of Spanish contributes to easier communication with the team. Thanks and good luck!

I loved teaching the kids! There were some issues with the accommodation (no water etc) but it got switched for a bigger place half way through my stay which solved most issues. At times the organization and communication was difficult. I would recommend having an intermediate or at least beginner level of Spanish prior to arriving as the majority of the teachers at the preschool do not speak English, and Spanish is also very very helpful when teaching English to the children who are generally beginners. Bogotá is chilly at night so make sure to have warm pyjamas and panta instead of shorts

Although my time at the school was short it was great! Host was very communicative, the children are adorable :). The schedule from Monday-Friday included helping out at the school from 8-12pm. In the mornings I was tasked with doing group classes and going over topics given by the teachers of each class. After our snack at around 9 am I'd usually start doing “personal” classes which was with 2-3 kids at a time reviewing a topic given by their teacher. At 12 we are served lunch, then the day is done! My only complaint is the shower in the apartment, the pressure is very weak and it's cold!!

My experience at the school was a positive one. You get the opportunity to help teach at the preschool on a fundamental level and immerse yourself in the small neighbourhood it's situated in. It would be ideal to have beginners Spanish as the teachers speak minimal English and it's difficult to communicate with them and the students without any Spanish. The classes were sometimes a little hectic so it's good to be adaptable and to learn what resources you have available to use so you can be prepared.

I loved my time at the school! There was a good schedule for the working hours and it was really nice to get to know the kids as the time went on. The apartment is basic but nice and very close to the school. I also always felt like I had support and could reach out about any questions I had. Only thing I would change is staying longer! 💖
