I had a lovely stay with Ana and her family. They have a wonderful vision for enriching English in their community, and it was inspiring to be part of their efforts. The family is warm and welcoming, and I truly enjoyed getting to know them and the students. It was such a pleasure to get to know the kids personally. My only suggestion is that some details could be made clearer from the beginning to help volunteers feel more prepared. Overall, it was a meaningful and memorable experience!

Ana's family was incredibly kind, welcoming, + supportive, especially when I experienced moments of anxiety or confusion. I truly felt like a member of their family. There were a few miscommunications due to cultural norms + expectations, but leading with kindness, an open mind, + flexibility resolved them. As a pescatarian, I thought I would have trouble eating, but Ana's mom did everything she could to ensure I was well-fed. The bus makes Oaxaca super accessible, + I went to Walmart to pick up the extra food I needed—very inexpensive city+beautiful culture. Well worth the new life experience

Hey Jesse,
Now writing as a friend, not just as a host 😊 — you’re truly a wonderful person. So kind, thoughtful, and brilliant. I’m really happy I got the chance to meet you! I just wish we had more time to hang out and that I could’ve shown you more of this beautiful city.
Thanks, thanks, thanks for everything. Wishing you all the best in whatever comes next — and hope our paths cross again!

My experience living with Ana and her family and helping out with YesEnInglés has been the most incredible experience here in Mexico. I would recommend it to anyone. From day one, I was made to feel like part of their community, joining family celebrations, enjoying delicious homemade food and being able to experience local festivities. Teaching English was very enjoyable and well balanced with free time, and the ability to practice my Spanish in conversation with the family has been beneficial for my own learning. My only wish is that I could have stayed longer, muchas gracias a todos!

You shall definitely go to the school!EnIngles! Ana is a super good host with a lot of experience herself as a traveller. She is fair and flexible. It is a big experience to be a part of the family and the English school. You will connect with the local people. Be prepared for local parties and great food! I would highly recommend this project if you are looking for an authentic Mexican experience!

I loved my time at the school! the school. I was there with another Worldpacker traveler and it was an amazing time with them and the host family. The schedule is pretty consistent, and the students are a pleasure to work with. I'm super grateful to the family for their welcoming energy and willingness to adapt to my planning! You are about a 1 hour walk from Oaxaca Centro, or 20 mins by car/bus. The mornings are all yours to do what you want- during which you can walk around the pueblo, exercise, go to Centro, or more- just make sure to be back for classes! Thanks so much Ana, hope to see you soon <3
