Volunteering in Jakarta teaching English =)

This was my first worldpackers experience and it was amazing. The teachers, the girls I was staying with, were so sweet. Everybody really has a good team spirit when it comes to teaching and taking care of the volunteers aswell. The people will provide a schedule of classes, these classes are called ' class visits'. I made two presentations, one for children and one for adults in which you need to try and ask about things that really speak to them, like the Indonesian culture (food etc.). You don't have classes everyday, there are rest days scheduled and also very fun activities :)

I cannot praise the experience and team enough. They went above and beyond to take care of me. Don't be shy - speak to the team regularly as schedule can change. Tips-water (bottled only for drinking/brushing teeth and careful with ice) check if rainy/dry season so your prepared, bring modest clothing, toilet/shower is typical for asia - if in doubt just ask. If in kalimalang you are 5min walk to pharmacy, store, atm. Try all the food - team are great at picking good things to eat! Students were delightful. Made some great friends here - I really hope to visit again in the future! Ma Kasih X

Such a wonderful place! The people are so so kind and will take such good care of you. They provide so many opportunities to explore all Jakarta has to say offer in the mornings and do classes in the afternoons/ evenings.

Makasi GE, I would rate my stay 10/5 if possible. Everyone is very kind and they're always willing to help. They told me a lot about the city itself and the local culture. I stayed for two weeks. I loved to try all the different Indonesian food and I loved the teaching as well. I've met so many other students during the classes. I taught them more about Holland, and they were keen on showing me more about Indonesia. I would absolutely and without a doubt recommend this experience to everyone.

Enjoyable experience! The staff is welcoming, friendly, and respectful. Volunteers should know that the bedroom has a fan, but does not have air conditioning. The bed is comfortable. Regarding the teaching itself, we met so many great students from young children to adults older than us (we're 28). We're so happy that we could help these students learn English and we taught them more about America, too. Our faces hurt from smiling so much! We loved trying Indonesian food and learning more about the culture. We had many fun conversations with students and staff. We enjoyed seeing local sites!

These words probably won't be enough to say how amazing my experience at the school was! They were everyday aware that I was having a great time and feeling comfortable. All the staff was so nice to me and I made some incredible friends. The activities that I held were very exciting for me and I enjoyed a lot the cultural exchange with their students. Would recommend a 100% this experience and will be forever greatfull with all the team!

This volunteer is a really good experience to get involved in the Indonesian culture. In the mornings, you'll get to know all the main attractions in Jakarta with locals. In the afternoons, you'll share your experiences with students and you'll give English classes to them. I had so much fun with the students as I love teaching and they responded with such a positive attitude that made my feel really comfortable. On Sunday we did a day trip to Pari Island! Thank you so much for your hospitality, your kindness and your company. It has been such a great week with you! I hope to see you again!

Makasi, the school & team for the unusual and useful experience in a friendly environment! We spent together around 2 weeks and became friends and we hope we will meet again! We attended different classes and met students and teachers from all regions of the country who helped us to know true Indonesia. It was the exploration of culture, lifestyle, and values. Also, we had some additional entertainment, my favorite is the school Festival because it combines learning and fun. If you want to da social impact and meet sincere friends, you should start to plan your trip to Jakarta!

My time at the school was amazing, all the staff was very nice and kind. They show me the most interesting places in Jakarta and even went for a one day trip to Bandung. I tried traditional Indonesian food and learnt a lot about the different islands with the students. The time for classes was also very enjoyable because was time to share with students different experiences, so classes were time to talk!
