Teach English in Georgia

Job Description

This is a volunteer program, however we expect participants to treat post like a job and take it seriously. Volunteers with this program should maintain a positive attitude and be flexible and punctual. We expect our volunteers to meet the rules and standards set forth by the school and program by being responsible.

Academic Responsibilities: Volunteers will co-teach at school for a maximum of 30 hours each week with up to three local English instructors. This will also include the time for lesson planning. Schedules are set by the principal of the school since there will be only one volunteer in each school. We are looking for volunteers interested in creating engaging activities that are focused on speaking and listening skills. You may even have the opportunity to organize and plan extracurricular activities based on the needs of the school and your own interests.

Non-Academic Responsibilities: Volunteers reside in a homestay and will be required to give their host families three hours of English classes every week. You will be integrated with the local community as you participate in cultural exchange excursions.
