Description
Dear Workawayer,
We live in Bali, Indonesia. Our small English course business has run since 2004. We have about 400 students who come to our classes which are held in the afternoons during the week. As a host, we are happy to welcome volunteers who are interested in sharing their energy and time with us. We are looking for an English speaker, it doesn't have to be a native and doesn't have to be specifically an English Teacher as well. We hope that our students gain more confidence in speaking English and acquire the ability to understand a native speaker.
As a volunteer, you will join the English classes and do the activities with the students. Our students are always excited to meet foreigners and will make you feel very welcome. There will always be a local teacher in the class with you to teach the kids. During your free time, you can enjoy activities like yoga, visiting waterfalls, relaxing in typical coffee shops, etc. As a host, we are very happy to take you to popular places in Bali, such as Ubud, Sanur,Kuta, etc. or you can just relax in your local homestay.

There are three age groups in our course, which include elementary, middle, and high school. We have resources that the volunteers can use, and the volunteers would be helping students in their conversations and giving them advice about how to be more fluent. There will be an Indonesian-speaking teacher to help with the translation in class. The classes take place in the afternoons from 2pm to 7pm (Monday-Saturday).
