    Descrição

    Volunteer English Assistant in Guatemala City

    UPAVIM is seeking highly motivated Tutors and English teachers!

    In 2002 UPAVIM’s school was established to offer the children of La Esperanza and neighboring communities a nurturing, stimulating and inspiring atmosphere to learn and grow. An English Program was launched in 2008 which incorporated a half hour of English into the 5-hour school day. In 2013, the program expanded and now consists of 30 minutes of English immersion classes for the Montessori pre-school, 1 hour of English immersion classes for K-2, and 2 hours of English immersion classes for grades 3-6. The teachers also spend on-on-one time teaching children in English during Montessori classes. This program not only broadens the future education and employment opportunities of UPAVIM’s children, but it also increases the school day, keeping students away from the gang violence that is present on the streets of La Esperanza.

    The teacher will plan and instruct conversational ESL classes with the assistance of the local English teacher. They may be asked to assist in other classes (Music, Art, PE, and Life Skills) and take on responsibilities such as: Eating lunch with one of the grades, supervising during recess, lesson planning, material preparation, and grading and assessment. The English teacher will work full-time Monday-Friday from 7:00-3:30 based upon the Guatemalan school schedule. The goal for the position is to teach students how to express and understand concepts in English while also encouraging a passion for learning. This is an excellent opportunity to teach English abroad and take part in the transformation of this community.

    REQUIREMENTS:

    • Bachelor's degree
    • Teacher Certification or Teaching Experience
    • Speak, read and write fluently in English
    • Speak, read and write at an intermediate level in Spanish
    • Patient and adaptable to change
    • Minimum commitment of 3 months between January-October
    • Teaching experience preferred
    • COVID-19 Vaccine required

    BENEFITS

    Housing is provided, and breakfast & lunch is provided M-F when the kitchen is operating. Cost of living as a volunteer averages $20-$50 per week, depending on spending preferences.

    LEVEL OF LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY

    Native English speaker and basic Spanish proficiency.

    If you are interested, please send your resume/CV to volunteer@upavim.org or reply to the posting.
