The aim of this teaching and assisting in school’s program is to help lay the foundations for a better future for each child by providing a solid educational base for students. Volunteers will teach and assist local teachers across a range of subject matter, with a particular focus on the English language. As a busy tourism city, skills in English are seen as integral for future employment prospects. A solid education can lay the path out of poverty for many, with volunteers greatly assisting on this road.
The aim is to create a playful environment and enhance the creativity of children through painting, playing games, singing etc. Volunteers working with pupils in classes 1-12 will assist teachers in delivering the English and mathematics syllabus, alphabets, counting, days of the week, months of the year, manners, writing practice etc. Volunteers will also help to deliver hygiene and environmental education. Volunteers will spend their time assisting the local teacher with daily activities, and will spend time teaching and playing with the children.
As a volunteer on our Teaching English project you will play an integral part in providing free English lessons to adults and children so they can learn the language. The ability to speak English gives Guatemalans a genuine opportunity to find work and build a career in tourism, business, or teaching.
