The Experience

Hi guys!! We would be glad to have you at our English Center, students are more than happy to practice their speaking skills with foreigners, You just have to come and talk to them, share your knowledge, hobbies, culture and learn from our culture as well. We have kids from ages 5 up to teens and adults. Working groups are small so it can be a real significant time to get to know each other. In your free time you have lots of fun things to do.

It was really good experience at TIC TAC TOE! It's my first time to teach students and i usually help another teachers. Teaching students was really adorable and we also had special club that talk about my country. It's great experience. Vero and her family always welcomed and soooo kind and friendly. I feel really comfortable like my home <33 Definitely if i come back to Latacunga i will do it again. Thank you :)

I really enjoyed my week at TicTacToe English! First of all, the kids were really friendly, and I only worked 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I got the rest of my time to explore the city, as the appartment is located in the city center, and only 1 min away from the school. It has everything you need and all the shops and restaurants are nearby. Concerning the staff, I felt very welcomed by everyone, especially Veronica and her family who took me various times to have food around the city and even went out of their way to help me get my lost luggage back. Thank you for everything!! ⋆.˚𖦹⋆✮⋆.˚

I really enjoyed teaching kids at Tic Tac Toe. The kids are super cute, well behaved and smart. Veronica's family is super kind and made me feel at home. They picked me up from the bus terminal. Throughout the week they gave us some tours around Latacunga and took us for lunch and dinners and introduced us to local food. Had a comfortable apartment to stay. I was sharing the space with another girl. I had my own bed in the living room. And it was only 2 minutes walk to the school. Working here is super chill and fun. I highly recommend. Veronica is great with communication and super friendly
