My experience at SALC was one that has deeply impacted me and has made me realize I love teaching! I learned so much about myself through working with the students and watching their language skills improve every week. My first day I was worried this might not be for me and by last day I was emotional about leaving 🩷 thank to Tammy, Esteban and Nancy for the warm welcome and embrace into their family! The accommodation and food was great! I miss the school everyday and hope to return one day !

This is my first time out of the United States and first time volunteering, I felt very welcomed from the beginning even though Spanish is very poor that was not an issue since they needed me to be an English tutor with students, I am a beginner level in Spanish it was very helpful for me to be around Spanish speakers everyday to increase my knowledge. The accommodation was very nice, apartment in walking distance from school. The meals that Nancita cooked everyday were amazing, I felt blessed to eat a family meal with everyone and talk about our experiences. Thank you to estaban and Tammy!!

I had a great time volunteering at SALC with the Sevilla family! It was my first Worldpackers volunteering experience and I could not have asked for a better place. The students were lovely and eager to learn, the daily amount of work was just enough, the apartment was nice, well equipment and the daily lunches very tasty! I really enjoyed teaching and getting to know local people who were eager to share their culture and life stories with me. I would definitely recommended if for anyone who wants to get to know Ecuador a bit better :). Thank you for a lovely experience Tamy and Esteban!

I had an amazing experience teaching English at SALC! Esteban's family were all so kind and welcoming- they went out of their way to make my stay special and give me plenty of opportunities to practice Spanish in a friendly environment. The living quarters were spacious and comfortable. The hosts were thoughtful about accommodating my dietary restrictions and I was provided with healthy, filling meals. I absolutely loved teaching at the institute! Thanks to the students and the hosts, I got to learn a lot about Ecuador and meet so many great people. I highly recommend this experience!

I had an amazing time staying here. It's a great project where u can make yourself very useful. The work isn't difficult at all and u get eased into it. The house provided for the volunteers is very clean and well equipped. Both Esteban and his mother Tami are wonderful people, I spent a few of my first days very sick, and they took great care of me, for which I'm very grateful! I would recommend this project to everyone who is outgoing, likes to talk and loves being around people!
