Lead English Teacher Peru
Description
We run an after-school space that provides a stimulating English learning environment for children and adolescents from the outskirts of Arequipa. This year, in our new Community Center, we seek to reach 100 children, aged 3 to 17. We feel so ready for this, and would love to count on you!
The purpose of the program is to improve the English speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills of the students in your class using the HOOP curriculum, effective lesson planning, and dynamic teaching methods, with the support of the Education Coordinator.
Functions:
- Plan classes for students between the ages of 3 - 17 (each volunteer will teach a specific age group, so they won't have to plan for so many ages)
- Teach English to one group of 20 students (Monday to Friday, 3:30 - 5:00 pm / Saturday, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm)
- Participate in Education team meetings, alongside a few other general HOOP activities.
To apply, please send your CV, Criminal Check and a Reference letter to welcomevolunteers@hoop.ngo.
