TEACHING

Volunteers will be attending in Primary Schools which are located together therefore adding an extra level of flexibility to meet everyone's needs.

English one of the official language in Tanzania however in the rural areas many children still speak their local dialects in school. We hope by bringing English speaking volunteers to the area, it will enhance the children's understanding of vocabulary perhaps that they would not be introduced to usually and different accents to assist with their learning later in life. As the children get older and study further advanced subjects theses are all taught in English so a key understanding of English is critical for these children to continue on to further education.

we believe term that when we send our volunteers to a school, even just by two weeks time the children are much more comfortable having some conversations in English and we hope to keep up with this momentum to give them the best shot at the life they want as they grow into young adults!

Depending on the school that you select after your introduction and what you will feel comfortable with, you may be paired up with a teacher to primarily start supporting as a teaching assistant or you may be given a class yourself depending on your experience and confidence. Although the thought of your own class may seem overwhelming at first, the sheer enthusiasm and eagerness to learn of children will be a strong push to spur you on the way.
