AVA is currently looking to place volunteers from diffrent countries in schools in Nepal. This is an on going project. You will be teaching children of diffrent ages and all diffrent levels to speak, read and write English. You may also help the teachers at your school with their English and lesson plans.
You must be able to stay in Nepal for at least 1 month, speak English as your first language, and have some experience with children. You do not need your TESOL certificate but it is helpful.
You will be given the option of training upon arrival in Nepal. This includes cultural and language training. You will also be taken to see some of the local sights. There are some teaching resources available for you in Nepal. Training starts the 1st and 15th of every month.
You will live with a local family close to your school and will be placed accourdingly to what age and level of students you will be most comfortable with.
Our English Teaching program may be mixed with any of the other programs we offer at no extra cost.
Prices start at $295 US and go up depending on how long you would like to stay in Nepal and what training package you choose.
Where does my money go?
Your money covers transportation while you are in Nepal. We will pick you up from the airport, to and from the training village and to and from your placement. It also covers supervision of the projects and staff coming to visit you while you are at your work site and home stay to make sure you are doing well.
Your fee also covers administration costs for our partner organization your host family receives payment for your rent, food and clean water. Money from each volunteer is put into a project fund to help pay for supplies.
Depending on what package you choose, training materials and a language teacher are provided. Also 2 – 4 nights in a hotel and meals are supplied for you while you are staying in Kathmandu and at your home stay during your training.
Other Cost's Incurred
You will also be responsible to pay for your own flight, traveller's health insurance, police report, vaccinations and airport tax. We recommend you bring an extra $25.00 a week for spending money. You may want to eat out and meet up with other volunteers on your weekends. You will most likely want to bring home some souvenirs as well. We also recommend you bring extra money and plan to do some travelling while you are in Nepal. You will find it very cheap in Nepal compared to your own country.
We have recently formed a partnership with Global English, you now have the option of taking a TEFL course through Global English before you leave for Nepal. If you sign up through AVA you will be given a %5 discount. Look for details on our website.
