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 time in Latacunga there is so much to do in your free time. Vero is an excellent host always going thr extra mile to make you feel welcome. The hours are always communicated, the work is really interesting and the kids are great and really eager to learn lots. Overall I would definitely recommend this experience.

Such a kind family, thankful for the experience and the opportunity! The kids were great and will be eager to learn lots about you. A great spot to immerse yourself in the Ecuadorian culture on your time off also - a great stay overall!

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!! โ‹†.หš๐–ฆนโ‹†โœฎโ‹†.หš

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

I had a great time at the school. Vero and her family were so nice and welcoming. Working with the kids was also a lot of fun and a great new experience. I didn't have any similar experience of working with kids or teaching before so it was a bit of a challenge at first but I believe it worked out quite well. The apartment was also very nice and well equipped with loads of shops and restaurants nearby. I can definitely recommend this experience to anyone (also if you don't really speak Spanish - like me).

A very nice and welcoming environment to teach English. Veronica and her family working at the school were very friendly and encouraging during my short stay there. Great little apartment with basics you need, and Paul was very attentive with issues that came up with the house and even brought me food when I was sick while they gave me a day off. As far as teaching, sometimes expectations for you and how things operated I wished were more communicated. You actually teach 20hrs and more time preparing for classes. But the kids were great and the tasks really weren't so difficult! Recommended

WOW!! This experience was wonderful! Veronica and her lovely family welcomed me with open arms, gave me a comfortable flat and made me feel like their family in seconds. Their language center is so well managed and I got to work with such an amazing bunch of kids and teenagers. I was challenged to come up with games and fun topics to have conversations about during the classes and Veronica was supportive all the way through. The hours were amazing and they adapted the hours to my plans outside of volunteering. I highly recommend it, lots of fun! Thanks for making my time there so great! Love/B

I had a great time with the school's team and students! It was a pleasure to build a friendship with Vero, Rocio, Patricio y toda la familia the school! The children and teenagers were very pleasant to be around and teach. The apartment offered to volunteers is just a block away from the school and offers all one might need for its stay (also very close to supermarkets, pharmacy and restaurants). For anyone looking to spend one or two weeks teaching English before or after the Quilotoa Loop or other treks, a must!
