Help Teach English and share your culture

Emilia is a super enthusiastic, kind and helping person, but she also gives you a lot of freedom, responsibility and trust. I didn't only feel well treated but respected too. You will be living on the countryside between the cows and the trees. It is a really beautiful and peaceful place. There is a village not far away and maybe Emilia could even help you to get access to a bike.

Spent a month with Emilia at the school and the time flew by! I stayed in her home in Tuta, and we drove to Paipa most days (or took the bus) to teach lessons, rotating between morning and afternoon classes. I also got to volunteer at a private school on Tuesdays which was super fun. Emilia was a wonderful host that showed me the best of Boyoaca and more. Gracias su merce!

Emilia was the perfect host and what she created with the school is wonderful. Her energy and work ethic are admirable and she is a breath of fresh air. The students are amazing! Tuta, where the house is located is a very peaceful and lovely place to get in touch with nature (and the neighbouring cows as well as the cute neighbour dogs!) and Paipa where the language centre is, has a bit of everything and is very well connected to other cities and places to explore. Make sure you spend some time visiting the thermal pools and walk around the local lake also. Emilia, thank you for everything!

Emilia is probably one of the most wholesome and pure people I've met so far! Very understanding, adaptive and willing to include you in activities or change plans to give travellers the room to visit other places and see more of Colombia! Tuta(York), the village we we're staying at wasn't the most active so like others have said, don't chose this if you're in it for the night life but for someone who wants to have a calm stay and just enjoy nature and the moment I wholeheartedly recommend! Loved it!

Mi experiencia en the school fue increíble. Emilia es un increíble anfitrión súper amable y siempre con buena energía! Me sentí siempre bienvenido y como en casa. Paipa es un lugar súper lindo y con una naturaleza súper hermosa.

Emilia is a great host, the sweetest and most accommodating person with a very contagious laugh! She will make you feel very welcome. You will live in a house half an hour from Paipa, out in the countryside with dogs and a cat. There's busses going into town or you will catch a ride with Emilia. The students are curious and you get a lot of responsibility having the classes on your own. Great way to practice your Spanish! I encourage to ask lots of questions, Emilia is happy to answer them but she has a lot going on so don't be afraid to ask. Overall had a good stay. Will miss you Emilia!

Working for Emilia was a lot of fun. She's a really hard-working, inspiring and motivating person, but at the same time very patient and spontaneous. She never gets angry, when things don't go as planned or when the volunteer (me) locks himself out of his room at 3am - haha. Also her students in the school are really fun and eager to learn. Teaching English to someone that only speaks Spanish really helps you to improve both your Spanish and English. I loved every second of it, thank you so much Emilia! <3

I really enjoyed my time volunteering at the school. Emilia was a lovely and welcoming host. Teaching the classes was more of a challenge than I expected at the start as I went in thinking I would be assisting teaches, but it was a rewarding experience and I had a lot of support. Juan Pablo (another teacher at the school) was very helpful and happy to answer any questions I had. This was a great respite from a couple of months of travelling as the town and house are very relaxing. Everyone in the town was very friendly and I felt very safe here.

In just one week Emilia and her colleagues and friends helped me to immerse myself into the Boyacan culture. Besides work, I played Tejo, Bolirana and learned some new Spanish words and learned about the culture and work. You sleep in a cool house in Tuta and work in Paipa. It's cool to actually stay a week in this friendly town and become friends with the people. It felt like home! It's also a sportive city and you can find enough coffee corners :) Emilia herself is always busy, so take good care of her. She is funny, just like her friends!

The students are absolutely wonderful! I have taught english before but even if you havent its pretty simple to pick up and the students are fun and helpful. The house in the countryside is cute and the cat and dogs out there are sweet! Make sure you plan on making all of your own meals! If you are wanting to socialize a lot this isn't the place but it is a great place to teach english and have some peaceful time in the countryside. You need to be pretty independent to do this one but I enjoyed it! It gets cold so pack accordingly! Thanks Emily! So much love!
