Description
This is one of the biggest English Language training Camps in Sri Lanka. Annually 2000 students study and practise English language in our institute. We can provide food & accommodation for 500 students at the same time. Duration of an English Language Course is 20 days to 60 days. . Local teachers have been employed here.
We are looking for English speaking girls to be with us and help the local students to practise their second language. According to our culture, Sri Lankan girls hesitate to move with gentlemen, that is why we are looking for only young girls. You needn't have teaching skills. We have local teachers to teach them so you just need to stay inside the institute and let our students to speak English with you. We never expect any other help from you.If you are able to stay only for 4 days in a week with the students, that is more than enough. Rest of the week you can visit the whole island that is full of waterfalls, mountains, beautiful coastal areas, small islands, national parks, botanical gardens, rain forests and large number of historical ruins.
. We can provide good food and comfortable accommodation.
Your arrival is a great honor to us and also it is an invaluable support to the local students who have no opportunities to practise English with foreign English speakers.

They come from around the country and so you will be able to meet a lot of different people. When I was there, there were students from approximately 18 to… read more

I volunteered here for just under a month in June 2015 and I'd be happy to be contacted by anyone else thinking of doing so. I found the students were a joy to spend time with as they were friendly, fun loving, inquisitive and open. As it is a residential course they come from all over SriLanka so it's a good opportunity for a volunteer to find… read more

During my stay we were three volunteers and our main tasks were helping the students getting a better feeling for the English language. In different ways (individual talks, games,… read more

We spent the days chatting to the students, helping them improve their speaking skills. They were respectful, outgoing, and easy to get in touch with. It was a great way to get… read more

My time spent at this place has been so rewarding and can't thank everyone enough for the amazing experiences they brought me! The lifestyle there is very laid back, and the work that is required of you is mostly just to chat with the students during their break times. The students are great fun, and want to know all about you and your own… read more
