Description
We are a small public (free of charge) school with a nice group of teachers and students in the west of the Czech Republic surrounded by nature and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities.
We are looking for enthusiastic, fun and reliable people with perfect English, ideally NATIVE SPEAKERS who are interested in working with children at a local school, having experience in this department is a huge advantage! We are searching for social people who like to talk and don’t mind sharing their lives.
The job involves preparing interesting English lessons, presenting their home country, culture, travel experiences, etc. It also involves teaching in tandem with other teachers in a variety of subjects, from languages to art or music to PE. Any talents, interesting skills, and experiences that you could show and engage students with are welcome. We expect you to be proactive, confident, have leadership skills, speak loud and clear, and be able to improvise during the lesson. We would like you to bring something interesting to the table.
You will work max. 4 hours/day and you are expected to do your best. In the afternoon, it is your time off, and it is totally up to you how you use it. We will definitely give you some tips and recommendations where to go and how and what to visit.
Stay: 1 week
Max: 1-2 people, ideally 2 people at a time (a couple, friends...)
If you are interested, please feel free to contact us at any time. If we like your proposal, we can arrange a video call and talk more. Since we have many volunteers reaching out, we will choose based on those interviews. We’re looking forward to having you here! 😊
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Teaching
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Since we are not a big school, you can try teaching different age groups. It could be a nice experience if you are planning on becoming a teacher or you are already one, so you can try teaching in another country. The teachers and kids are kind and warm.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
