  Volunteer Teacher - Chile

Looking at a map of Chile one feels a touch of amazement that so much can happen in this long, narrow strip of land, tucked between the towering Andes Mountains and the endless Pacific Ocean! It is a beautiful country, and the Elqui Valley with its breathtaking scenery, is home to our current volunteering projects.

Our volunteers are working in two large primary schools based in Monte Grande and Pisco Elqui as well as in several small rural primary schools.

Teaching English is the main focus of these projects although volunteers have also been active in teaching drama, sports and science. As well as this, opportunities also exist to work with the wider community on business development and projects involving adult literacy have been set up by previous volunteers.

The children are responsive and welcoming and the need is for enthusiasm and commitment from our volunteers, rather than formal qualifications. We offer an optional weekend short course in Oxford for those who feel they need extra teaching support. Qualified teachers are also welcome as they can assist with local teacher training.

For our programmes in Chile, we ask that our volunteers speak good Spanish before embarking on a teaching placement. The levels of spoken English in the valley is poor, so it is essential for communication.

If you would like to find out more, contact us.
