Description

Most WorldTeach volunteers in Ecuador teach English in university or community classes with adult students. In some cases, volunteers may also have the opportunity to work with high school or elementary school students. The majority of teaching placements are in urban areas and larger towns, though more rural placements are sometimes available.

Year-long programs depart in both March and September. Both groups receive a month of orientation training, and teach for approximately 11-12 months (time commitment required).

Skills

The year-long program requires volunteers to be native English speakers with a Bachelor's degree (in any subject), flexibility, and openness to teach various ages and types of students. Additionally, volunteers participating in the Ecuador Year program must be free of communicable diseases in order to secure a visa.
