Volunteer Teaching English in Philippines
Volunteers working in the Teaching Project are placed in rural elementary schools outside Tacloban City and surrounding areas to assist the local teachers with their English classes and other subjects. These volunteers are able to experience living in rural villages and will observe the true meaning of "community."
Another alternative to teaching in the rural setting is to teach the nonformal education classes in Tacloban. These classes are developed for the out of school youth and unemployed adults interested in learning the basic subjects taught in public school, as well as skills training. The nonformal education sector lacks the teachers they need to conduct regular classes for these students who have previously dropped out of school and are looking to continue their education.
As a volunteer you can organize and schedule classes daily and really have a profound effect on these students' lives.Volunteers can teach English through various means such as textbooks, games and interactive teaching methods. You can also help in improving the language skills of the local teachers as well.
Volunteers working in this project work for 5-6 hrs a day for 5 days a week.
Note: You do not need to be a qualified trained teacher to join this program.
