In Ingles Rapido the school I got to know a lot of local people and students. The voluntary is pretty chill, the academy has a very dinamic way to teach and to keep students motivated and having fun. Also you might participate in a group game or activity that are really fun to do. The hostal is a few meters from the academy so its a very easy going voluntary

The teachers and staff were excellent and very friendly. Jocelyn took the time to explain everything in the beginning and enthusiastically welcomed me (she may have downplayed how many videos I would be in by a lot...haha). Anyhow everything was lots of fun, the students ranging from 10- 70 years old were happy to practice great experience whenever given an opportunity,

I had my 3. voluntary in the SALC and came there to support language courses & activities (Cooking/Music) in English. At the end my daily task was practicing dialogs with the students and get to know each other for 15min. The students were very friendly and interested in learning English which is why I still had fun at work :) The cozy hostel & good restaurant was nearby which was practical. Dear SALC Team, thanks for the experience! One fact you should definitely add to the description is that you record the volunteers. I didn't feel respected when I said I don't want that...

I was volunteering alongside Máté (couple's volunteering experience) and we had a really great time! The team is really nice and keen on making you learn about their culture and talking with the students of all ages was also a very great way to immerse in the cultural exchange :) Some things about the organization could have gone quicker but I think it was also a bit slow because it was our first volunteering and we didn't really know what to expect. Now we definitely want to do more!

We volunteered in this center for a week and had an amazing experience. The team developed a very interesting method to get people to learn English with a mix of classic exercises, speaking practices and fun activities. We got to discover a lot about Ecuadorian culture with students of all ages and have a lot of great memories to take back home with us! However this is not a volunteering for a very shy person, given that you will also have to record multiple videos for their social content. Also they are very adaptable so don't be afraid to tell them about your expectations or dream schedule.
