Description

Location(s)

Global Volunteers needs people to teach English to College students in the Spanish colonial cities of Dolores Hidalgo and Queretaro in Mexico. You will be a rare and valuable resource in the local students' quest to gain greater English language proficiency. And you will also get to experience the best of Mexico: vibrant cultural practices, strong family traditions, a clear and proud national identity and the local people's determination to improve their future opportunities.

You will teach approximately four hours a day, using the remainder of the day to prepare for class and team meetings. The focus is on English conversation; each class follows a syllabus and uses texts which guide the volunteers through daily lessons. Team members often add examples from their personal lives to liven up the conversations.


Skills

We're looking for volunteers with a pioneering spirit who enjoy "hands-on" projects. If that's you, join us in partnership with a friendly community that will leave you feeling invested in the futures of the people you serve. The focus is on English conversation, not grammar, so virtually anyone can be of service.
