Volunteering at SALC was truly one of my best experiences — I even extended my stay! Karen and the whole team are incredibly welcoming and take great care of you during your stay. You work 3 days a week, 6 hours a day, and have plenty of time to explore the beautiful city around. The rooms with private bathrooms are very spacious, and the kitchen is perfect for cooking and meeting others. The kids' English levels range from A1 to C1, giving you a lot of topics to work with. I definitely recommend it! Thank you so much again for everything!

I really enjoyed my stay at SALC! Karen and the staff were kind and sweet and made me feel welcome. The hours were respected, I worked 3 days a week from 10-1 and 3-6 practicing English conversation with students of different levels. There was an activity once a week, and I got to teach the students yoga, which was really fun! The accommodation and kitchen were very comfortable, and on the weekends I got to explore the surrounding areas. Thank you so much Karen and SALC!

This can be a great opportunity, depending on your expectations. You get a private room/bathroom but may need to bring sheets. The town seems safe except for pickpockets. Lots of easy trips nearby. Work is mostly 15-minute conversations, but guidance is limited, so bring materials. The schedule is flexible, with 3 days off. Staff is friendly but not always helpful. Staff speaks mostly English with you. Internet is unstable. Free laundry means hand-washing in the sink. Despite issues, I enjoyed the students and cultural experience—worth it if you don't mind minor inconveniences.

I like everything about it and the team, the team was so nice. All what you need is some creativity to do some activities for the students & to speak in English with students from different levels. one thing that you need to take in to consideration is only that the room at 4th floor of the same the school building and same floor of facilities. you will share same kitchen and floor with students.
