In the Academia , we firmly believe that Education is a powerful transformational tool. We offer Vocational Education and Training to young people and adults and other educational programmes for kids. At our institute, we teach English as a Foreign Language classes, Accounting courses, Computer Repair lessons, among other programmes, in order to help our students develop skills so that they can easily enter the job market or start an entrepreneurial endeavor. We want the members of our educational community to become excellent individuals who thrive to create a better society.
In particular, we would love to host someone who can help us in our English language classes. Your mission as an English teaching volunteer will be sharing your culture with the students and teachers, teaching English lessons to students from diverse proficiency levels and being a guest in some classes or a co-teacher.
You are expected to be in the classroom for about 4 hours per day. We will provide you homestay in a fully-furnished apartment, where you will have internet access, and we will give you a $25 USD weekly stipend . Also, If you want, you will have the opportunity to practice Spanish.
On weekends, we might take you to enjoy outdoor activities and to visit some beautiful places, which offer great landscapes, so that you can have a good time.
We are located in Florencia - Caquetá, Colombia, a small city with around 200.000 people in the south of Colombia. A flight from Bogotá ($50- 80 USD) will take only 1 hour, and we will pick you up at the airport. You will never feel alone. If you decide to come by bus from Bogotá ($30 USD), it will take you 9 hours approximately to our city and we will pick you up at the bus terminal station.
Our city is also well-known as the Golden Gate of Colombia's Amazon, which is surrounded by beautiful rivers and an amazing green scenery. We might be able to practice different kinds of outdoor sports.
Florencia is growing year by year, we have three universities, three hospitals, more than 15 schools, the most common means of transportation in the city are motorcycles and cars, but also many people just walk, because everything is nearby.
The apartment you will be living in is next to our institution, that means it will take you only one minute from your place to the Building (walking slowly). :D
