Right now, we are looking for volunteers who wish to teach English classes or help us grow our social media platform. Volunteers with teaching or social media management experience are preferred.
Teachers: Teach English to small classes (generally 2-6 students per class) and assist class with pronunciation activities. We use textbooks from an internationally known publisher.
