You love children and you enjoy working with them? Then you are a perfect fit for our projects in Costa Rica.
There is a huge difference between our school system in Europe and the school system in Costa Rica. It is quite common that Kindergarten and School are close to each other and sometimes they are even in the same building. Therefore you are going to have a variety in your operating range. In the vicinity of Santa Barbara their are 3 different schools and kindergardens where volunteers can help. Depending on your English level you will be placed with younger or older kids. Volunteers will asist the local stuff in all areas as you can see below.
Speaking English is getting more and more important due to rising tourist numbers. Your job is going to be as a consultant for the english teachers in the schools you are going to support them in their subject and if you are very confident with the language and you show
dedication you can also support other teachers in other subjects. Create small exercises for you students, make them smile while their learning and think of appreciation in the children’s eyes.
