Teaching english in kenya

Teach English, Mathematics, Science and

other subjects at our primary schools in urban

and rural areas of Kenya. No teaching

certificate is required, but native English

speakers are preferred.

Your voluntary contribution to teach English as

a second language in Kenya or to teach other

subjects, will be highly appreciated and

fulfilling to yourself. We work with a number of

schools where teaching volunteers will be

placed..

Those volunteering for international teaching

in Kenya are expected to have at least

graduated from high school or be enrolled in a

college. On completion of a mandatory

overseas teaching orientation, the overseas

volunteer teachers will be expected to work

for between 4 to 5 hours a day.

The number of local teachers per school is

normally small. In some schools the student

to teacher ratios are so high, but sometimes

in Kenya, thats the only chance the students

have to learn and make something out of their

lives.

The students range in age from 4 to 14 from

pre-kindergarten to class 8. For the younger

children, you can help them with

conversational English, basic math, arts &

crafts, board games, playground games, sports

like soccer and running, music, and any other

talents you wish to share. For the older

students, you can teach more formal subjects

like English, science, math, and history. The

school schedule is Monday-Friday from 8am to

4pm with a two-hour sports period from 3-5pm

where the students do things like cross-

country running, soccer, and basketball.

All classes are taught in English in Kenya.
