As a volunteer, you’ll mainly assist the regular school teacher so no specific experience is required, however qualified teachers and aspiring teachers are very encouraged to apply! All higher education in Nepal is in English, so it is vitally important that children must learn English to continue further higher education.
Teach children from different age groups and different learning capability. Establish relationships with the local people and learn about their unique culture in the process. You will be free to use different teaching methods, however a course book will be provided as a reference guide to assist you in making a real difference.
You are free to use different methods to teach but you can use the course book as reference or educate children through conversational English. You are also free to teach on other subjects sich as mathematics, history, science, geography, computer technologies, music and other subjects, arts and crafts, different educational games, personal development, environment awareness, general health and safety and so on.
Please note: In school holidays, projects can be transferred to Construction/ Canine Rehabilitation/ Kindergarten.
Location
Kathmandu, the capital and largest city in Nepal, is an incredible place! The contrast of decaying buildings, smell of incense, street sellers, historic temples and incredible mountain views will invigorate your senses and keep you inspired to learn more about the amazing history and culture. For several hundred years, Kathmandu was one of three rival royal cities, along with Bhaktapur and Patan. The highlight of Kathmandu has long been Durbar Square, the largest of the palace squares in the three royal cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Temples and monuments of varying shapes, sizes, styles, and faiths can be found here. This small, mountain-sheltered valley is the historical centre of Nepal, a place where kingdoms rose and fell, where palaces and temples were built and rebuilt, and where Nepali art and culture was developed and refined.
