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

This was by far my best volunteering experience to date. I arrived planning to spend a month and ended up finding a second home and staying over 4 months. The English classes are a great and the kids/adults are super fun to work with. I learned a lot about creating curriculum and materials and teaching English to beginners. Ana and her family were so welcoming and the location is perfect. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys teaching and is looking to learn more about Oaxaca. Overall 11/10 experience 🌟🌟🌟

I'm leaving the school with a heart full of good memories. Everybody welcomed me and I already felt like part of the family since day one. The classes are easy, funny and you even learn spanish at the same time. It's not too far from the center and you have plenty of time to explore everything during your time.

Volunteering at Ana's English academy was an incredible experience! The kids are full of energy, making every lesson fun, and Ana's vision for the academy is truly inspiring. Her family welcomed us with open arms, helped us improve our Spanish, and fed us the most delicious homemade Mexican meals. Their traditional parties were a highlight- they showed us how to celebrate Mexican-style with music, dancing, and laughter. If you're looking for a meaningful and enriching experience, this is the perfect place. Thank you, Ana and family!

Ana and her family were incredibly welcoming and so much fun to spend time with! The family speaks in Spanish primarily, so it was an excellent opportunity to learn and practice Spanish. The English classes were small but the students were full of energy and excited to learn. I worked alongside another volunteer to plan lessons based around the workbook Ana had created previously with other volunteers. There was a lot of downtime since classes were only from 4-7 Mon-Thurs, so plenty of time to hang out with the family or go explore Oaxaca. This was a wonderful experience!
