ENGLISH NATIVE SPEAKERS ARE OUR PRIORITY !!
Hello! My name is Delvis.
I’m a 32-year-old PhD student at the Queensland University of Technology, living in Brisbane, Australia, for the past two years. Before starting my PhD, I founded an English school in Padang, Indonesia. As I’m currently away, I’m seeking visitors to help our dedicated local teachers in practising English with our wonderful students.
I truly enjoy meeting people from different countries and cultures, and this platform has allowed me to connect with volunteers from around the world. We teach English to young adults aged 17-28, focusing on improving their language skills in a fun and engaging way. Our mission is to empower the local community, especially in the surrounding villages, by enhancing their English proficiency, which is increasingly important as the region opens up to tourism and professional opportunities.
What We Offer to Visitors:
- Cultural Exchange: Whether you’re an experienced traveller or simply confident in your English skills, we welcome visitors from all backgrounds. We offer cultural exchange to understand how we live, and we are also curious about your cultures in your home country.
- Local Exploration: In your free time, we’ll help you discover the local tourism, including trips to beaches, waterfalls, markets, and more, while practising our English with students.
What We’re Looking For:
We’re primarily seeking travellers who can give ongoing, meaningful contact with English speakers. This helps the local population build essential language skills for better social and professional opportunities. We welcome native and non-native English speakers with a passion for sharing cultural exchange.
Important Notes:
If you’re a female traveller, please wear modest clothing in respect of our local religious customs.
How to Reach Us:
You can fly to Minangkabau International Airport in Padang. From there, we can either arrange to pick you up or provide directions for a taxi. My place is located in Bukik Sungkai, Pauh, Padang, just outside the city.
This is a truly unique and welcoming place where everyone will greatly appreciate your help. If you’re interested in contributing to our mission, please reach out to me here, and we can discuss the details of your visit.
Let’s work together to empower the local community!

I was able to stay at the english school for one month and had an amazing time and experience. Delvis and his brother Aleev are very kind hosts and beautiful people. Teaching english to the students was so much fun and living in Sungkai, Padang gave me a great insight on the indonesian culture. Thank you for everything Del and take care!
