Descripción
My name is Edison with a wife ,Novie and two children.They are Ochta (30 years old) and Fadlil (10 years old) One of them is good at English.
I run private English school for children aged between 10 and 19 years old in a small city in West Sumatra. My goal as the principal of the school is to provide youth from my region with the English skills required to communicate better in the modern world, and therefore provide them with better opportunities in their lives.
I would like to welcome any fluent English speakers under the age of thirty to come assist my teachers in the classroom. You would help immensely by having simple conversations with the students and give them a real English speaking experience inside or outside the classroom.
All the students are very welcoming and curious about my visitors and I am certain that you will have a great experience while interacting with them. You can expect answering all their curious questions, pose for pictures and be invited for lunches, snacks and dinners.
Classes in my school run from 3pm to 6pm and mostly consist of two lessons/classrooms per day. I would also like to invite you to visit government schools in the mornings, where you can help me by talking with students there and promoting my after-school English program.
In return for your efforts, We will provide you with accommodation in a private room next to my house with its own separate entrance, private bathroom and a balcony with views of the mountain range which are beautiful. Apart from that During the working days We will provide you with breakfast,lunch and dinner, and unlimited coffee.During the non - working days Volunteers are expected to obtain their own meals in the cafe.There are some cafes near my house.Dinners are prepared by my wonderful wife,NOFI and you will be able to taste true local cuisine.
No credentials are required. Do not worry if you don’t have previous experience in teaching. Your presence in the classroom and your efforts in encouraging students to have simple conversations is still very valuable.
I hope to host you at my place and MY TEACHING STAFF 's village and introduce you to my family, friends and unique culture of West
Please note that we are unable to host couples that are not married, as my family and I are Muslim and it conflicts with our beliefs. Thank you for your understanding.

You will meet a lot of local people, learn their habits and language. Teaching will also give you the opportunity to hang out with the students outside of the class room.

Algo más...
Batusangkar is a small town at the center of Minang Kabau culture where you can see the King's Palace, which is a very beautiful and unique place. The views around Batusangkar are also very beautiful, surrounded by lush jungle and tropical plants abound. On Sunday we go hiking with the students and teachers up to Singkarak lake, a place with beautiful landscaping at the top of a small mountain.
