    Description

    Hello there, my name is Joko, and I live in Palopo, it is a small town but on growing. the located is 365 km northen from Makassar. I have a project by teaching english for everyone who wants to learn it. I know english is widely spoken language in the world nowaday, and also it will open the eyes to see how wide the world from other sides, we can go everywhere by english and without fears to get lost. Anyway, I need foreign volunteers who can help me for teaching and practicing the english with teens. The main activity of the project for the volunteers is running the english classes. We can re-schedule it, it depends how long you'll stay so the classes will be maximum useful. And I will try to provide any activities for you at your spare time like sightseeing. Level of the students are mixed. I am trying to focus on oral english, I want these teens feel comfy at speaking english. fun activities during the class are good emotion to keep them interested and helping with their memories. Open your heart to make the children happy around the world and share your truly experience, dont hold your knowledge, but share it for the next generation but, I HAVE RULES TO FOLLOW!!
    So i hope to see you soon. 😊

    Best wishes
