Details
Description
We are a language school situated in Northern Chilean Patagonia. Our goal is to provide cultural exchange between the teachers, travelers and our students. Our model is based around teaching in small sized classes with a semi-flexible curriculum that is focused on the development of communication and interaction skills. We approach English and/or Spanish grammar as something alive and continuously evolving.
We offer volunteers a private room on the second floor of the school, which is located in a big heritage house in the center of Puerto Varas. The work consists on 15 hours of teaching (12 classes) between Monday and Thursday. In exchange you will receive Spanish classes and a monthly stipend.
