Mainly, you will support our team during those moments when we have to control the students in their free time, avoiding potential problems and playing with them while you push them to speak in English as much as possible, also helping in some activities such us excursions, multiadventure... Our students are from Spain and they come with the idea to immerse themselves in the English language.
