Expanish Teach English volunteer program, provides participating volunteers with the chance to volunteer in various schools, educational facilities and centers helping educate youths and adults in Buenos Aires

English Teaching volunteers will work to assist students with their English school work, conduct English lessons or assist teachers, and participate in various games and activities, promoting the importance of education in local communities.
Range of responsibilities

Volunteers will have the opportunity to offer their teaching services to locals who have little or no contact with native English speakers. Volunteers will be involved in the teaching of English or assisting local teachers through lessons, interaction with students and their homework and participate in educational games and activities. Many of these locals are genuinely interested in spending quality time with volunteers, providing you with the chance to positively interact with residents of Buenos Aires.
Why this project needs you

Having a working knowledge of the English language is becoming increasingly important for many Argentines, opening up opportunities in both the education and professional sectors. The opportunities for teaching are endless whether your interests lie in tutoring young children, or assisting business professionals in expanding their work worldwide, we are sure to have a placement that suits your needs.
Culture Shock

All volunteers need to take 2 weeks of Spanish group classes before the starting their volunteer program. You will find that the 2 weeks of Spanish will help you immensely in not only communicating with your colleagues, but also the people you are there to help and make for a richer experience. The more Spanish you know, the greater amount of tasks you will find yourself involved with as English may not always be spoken.

You will have the option of choosing from a high culture shock project (such as working in a local shanty town) to a low culture shock project (such as a community centre).
