    Description

    English Tutor

    Overview: English is an important pillar of our organization, and many of our students need support outside of class. If you want to work with students ages 7-15, you can help us give our primary and básico students the additional attention they need to improve their grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and general comfort in English. If you want to work with students ages 15-23, many of our scholarship students are studying careers that require a strong foundation for English. You can give these high school and university students the additional support to succeed. We prefer you to have prior experience working as an ESL tutor. You need an intermediate level of Spanish and must work as an English tutor for a minimum of 3 weeks.

    Requirements: Previous experience with ESL tutoring. Self-motivated and organised. Good communication skills. Ability to work independently, but also function well as part of a team. Exhibit patience and positive attitudes in establishing an encouraging learning environment.

    Level of Spanish: Intermediate

    Benefits:

    • Continued support from the Volunteer Coordinator throughout the duration of the position
    • Assistance in organizing a homestay and transportation from the airport
    • The opportunity to work in an international, multi-cultural environment
    • Collaborate in the development of an organization working for the benefit of Guatemalan children
    • Letters of Recommendation

    Time Duration: Minimum commitment of 3 weeks

    Hours: flexible

    Volunteer Fee: All international volunteers are asked for a one-time donation of $75 to cover the administrative costs of running the volunteer program.
