  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Xela (as Quetzaltenango is known locally) is an amazing city to spend time in, gain a great knowledge of Guatemalan culture and brush up (or start!) your language skills (both Spanish and teaching English skills). You will learn about lesson planning, conversation with English learners and a variety of other teaching skills which can be invaluable for future teaching posts. The school has lots of students (both Guatemalan, and foreign visitors) to get to know, and there are activities all the time which teachers are welcome to participate in, so you will become part of the family.

  Ayuda

  We are looking for tutors to teach English to teenagers and adult learners. These classes are one-to-one (or occasionally 2 students). We provide books and other material to use in your classes and we are based in a lovely central location. Tutoring experience is preferred, but not a necessity. We ask for a three-month minimum stay so our students have consistency and teachers build up a rapport with the students. Tutors need to be native English speakers (or completely fluent if it is not your first language).

  Algo más...

  There are a wealth of things to do in the local area, from hikes, to community visits, to just hanging out drinking delicious Guatemalan coffee in local cafes. There is a great social scene in town and both lakes and beaches are an easy weekend away.
