I had the opportunity to teach in Raul's English academy for just a week before my trip to Guatemala ended. It worked out quite well for the both of us, as a different Workawayer (Johnson!) got to visit El Salvador while I was teaching and being treated to Raul's hospitality. (He doesn't normally accept one-week Workawayers, but he means it when… read more he says to check your e-mail often. In my case, there was an opening available!)

First, I must say that Raul went above and beyond in taking care of me. Raul is a very friendly and fun guy. He picked me up from Antigua at the beginning of the week and brought me back at the end of it. He drove me to and from each class session. When I wanted to travel alone, he explained how to safely do so. When I had a sore throat, he brought me cough drops. He told me that if there was any thing I needed, I should let him know. I felt valued and safe.

If you do Workaway with Raul, you will be in an apartment in a safe gated community. The apartment is equipped with a kitchen, two bathrooms, two bedrooms, and a hot shower. I enjoyed watching some movies on the TV as well. It's a quiet community with some restaurants and grocery stores located inside of it, so if you don't feel like getting on a chicken bus to take you a few minutes down the road to Palin, you don't have to! I even had some Chinese food on one of my last days. That was some delicious comfort food for a homesick stomach.

Teaching in the academy was very enjoyable for me. It was my first experience actually teaching English in a classroom setting. Overall, the students are very attentive and eager to learn. They are respectful and grateful for the help you offer them as a native English speaker. As a Spanish speaker myself, I was able to teach in a way that took into account how native Spanish speakers think, and what may trip them up as they learn about English. Applying my own second-language skills was especially enjoyable for me, and the students helped me improve my Spanish as well! I had already been considering spending next year teaching English to Spanish speakers, but this experience solidified my interest and my confidence in my abilities to do so.

Do you enjoy teaching, communicating, and helping others? Are you easy-going, friendly, and looking to immerse yourself in a non-touristy town? Then I highly recommend this Workaway experience.

Thanks for everything, Raul!
