We are a small language school, teaching English and other languages to local people in a small town on the Andean sierra of Peru. We are always looking for foreign EFL teachers who want to work 4 or 5 hours a day with us for a volunteer stipend and get to know the real Andean culture, far away from the beaten tourist path. We have classes of all ages. We can offer you classes comprised of preschoolers, children aged 7-10, teenagers, or adults. Previously, the majority of our classes were adult, but now we’re moving to a higher proportion of teenaged students. We would normally offer staff classes of teenagers and adults, in a mixed schedule, with the option to teach children if you wish.
The classes are small, with just 4 – 12 students per class. Each lesson lasts between one and a half to two hours, generally, but not exclusively, in the evenings between 4 and 10pm.
