Description:

Description of project
As English is an international language, it is becoming more and more of a required skill for job placement, educational advancement and future success. Many classes are delivered in English by Nepali teachers, who frequently have only a basic knowledge of English themselves. Therefore, there is limited opportunity for Nepali students to expand their knowledge and use of the English language without direct contact with a teacher fluent in English.

In this, program volunteer teachers participate in teaching activities in Nepali schools by delivering conversational English and reading classes to Nepali children. Volunteers do not need to have formal teaching qualifications to teach at Nepali school. You will need a good command of written and spoken English, plenty of enthusiasm and a lot of patience.

Inventive Panorama Treks provides intensive teacher training by the training experts. After the training, the first three days of volunteering are spent observing the Nepali teachers or other overseas volunteer teachers’ classes. After observing a few classes, volunteers will start supporting the local teachers and take part in some classes.

Volunteers, who are professional certified teachers or have previous teaching experience and TEFL certification, may train the local teacher as most of the Nepali teachers lack training and experience.

Children are approximately between five and 16 years of age and volunteers will teach three to four hours per day. Schools are open six days a week, Saturday being the day off. Class sizes range from ten to fifty students. Besides formal teaching, volunteers may get involved in organising activities, which encourage the personal development of students, using their initiative to learn life skills.
