My experience at the school was nothing short of exceptional. Upon arrival, I was made to feel welcome by Jessica, Chris, and the whole team. The enthusiasm they all have for their work, and dedication to making the process of teaching and learning English was exlempary. To get the most out of the volunteering I believe you should go with a flexible attitude and throw yourself in, don't just wait to be told what to do. Join in every conversation and any class available, and you'll see genuine gratitude from teachers and students alike. I firmly believe you get out what you put in.

This was my first volunteer experience with Worldpackers, and I couldn't have been luckier to choose the school. Jessica and her husband Cris created a respectful and supportive environment, always ready to help whenever I needed. The accommodation is incredibly comfortable, with everything necessary to feel right at home. The school is fantastic, and the students and teachers are both amazing and welcoming. I also had the chance to explore the local sights and meet people from Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas. I'm grateful to Worldpackers and the school for such an unforgettable experience!

Jessica is an impeccable and hospitable host; you will be welcomed as if you were part of the family. She is attentive and accommodating to the needs of the volunteers. Working at her school is a personally enriching experience, and you can't help but grow fond of the students. In your free time, there are many breathtaking places to visit if you are a nature lover. Highly recommended.

I had a great four weeks with Jessica and the school team. I lived in Puerto Varas which is a beautiful town with good transport links to tourist attractions. The workload was totally fair, and I was even given a few days off, allowing me to take long weekends in places such as Chiloé and Hornopirén. The accomodation is more than comfortable, and I always felt I was looked after and had everything I needed. Jessica and the rest of the school teachers were great fun to work with, and I always felt welcome in their classes and around the office. Thank you for this experience!
