The Experience

I'm in the small, but beautiful city of Loja, my work team and I are looking for help for our academy, because for us it is important to have practical, dynamic and fun classes. There are students from 12 years old to people aged 65 years. The idea we have of teaching English is different, that is why we seek your help, through conversational talks, games, activities and more we can help improve the linguistic skills of our students.

The staff and students were always kind and respectful. When asked to lead a group activity or shoot a video for social media, they made sure I was comfortable and it was optional. But most of the time it was 1 on 1 unstructured conversation in the fish bowl :) The apartment is nice and each bedroom has its own full private bathroom. The location is excellent and the city is safe. There are several plazas and many shops, restaurants and markets. The laundromats charge only $3 to wash, dry and fold a week's amount of clothing. The weather is mild but it can rain or drizzle without warning.

I really enjoyed my two week stay with English the school. The students were of all ages and levels, and it was really nice to get in touch with locals in this way. They all had their own motivations to learn English, which was very enspiring. Also the workload of four hours per day was reasonable. To do this volunteer work, you need a good social battery and like to get to know people. If that is you, this volunteer work will definetely be a match. Apart from that, the appartment was really nice, and Loja is a nice and cozy town. Not a lot of backpackers, but a good chance to meet locals!

I really enjoyed my experience at Inglès the school, I can say it's my best volunteering experience so far! The school is very nice, all the students are highly motivated to learn, I had a nice chat with most of them. All the stuff are very welcoming, willing to help if I need anything. I extended my stay for one week more because of a special situation and they were very understanding. The appartement was very cool, with private room and private bathroom. I would definitely recommend it!

It's worth it, but if there's a problem with the apartment you get, you really need to insist that they help. The people in charge of the school are rather indifferent Othrr than that it's a good experience overall
