Teachers Assistant

TEACHING (Intermediated Spanish level)

Teaching English in Primary School. Our volunteers are able to help children in Costa Rica's primary schools receive a better education. In the Volunteer Costa Rica Primary School project, volunteers contribute their time and energy working with younger children, especially being English Teacher´s Assistants. Sometimes additional help with games, drawing, reinforcing students with special needs, and other creative activities will be needed.

Many classes are formed of about 35 children and very scant resources. Often, the children lack pens, pencils, and paper. Consequently, the volunteer should be creative to compensate for the lack of materials. Volunteers for this placement must be highly motivated "self-starters" who are able to work independently. Working with these children in our Costa Rica volunteer program will give you the opportunity to share your love and skill with those who need it. As a bonus, you will have free time to explore the cultural and natural wonder of Costa Rica

Teaching English to Teenagers (High School) and Local Adults (Other English Learning Centers). The Teaching English Program provides opportunities for volunteers to teach English to young people attending Costa Rican high schools or groups of Costa Rican adults. As Costa Rica develops its tourism industry, it is becoming a more popular destination for English-speaking tourists. For people to become part of this ever-growing industry, it is important for them to understand and speak English. Schools in the major cities are able to easily attract English teachers; however, more rural schools have a high need for English-speaking volunteers to help with these classes. In this project, volunteers will contribute their time and energy in working with teenagers and local adults, teaching all levels of English and/or being an English Teacher´s Assistant. At times, additional help with games, drawing, and other creative activities will be needed.

Volunteer creativity will be needed to compensate for the lack of materials. Volunteers for this placement must be highly motivated "self-starters" who are able to work independently. Working in the Costa Rica Teaching English volunteer program gives you an opportunity to share your love and skills with grateful people while having free time to enjoy the fascinating culture of Costa Rica.
