  Description

  Emily is the Director of the English Academy and one of the main hosts of the volunteer program. She is an English teacher who is passionate about education and enjoys working with children and teenagers. She is actively involved in teaching, planning educational activities, coordinating the academy, and supporting the students’ learning process.
  
  As a host, Emily will welcome volunteers, introduce them to the academy and its activities, and provide guidance throughout their stay. Volunteers will work alongside Emily and the teaching team, supporting English lessons and activities rather than teaching classes independently. She values responsibility, respect, teamwork, cultural exchange, and creating a friendly environment where volunteers can feel comfortable sharing their ideas, skills, and culture.
  
  Our English Academy is a growing English language academy located in the Ecuadorian Amazon. We work mainly with children and teenagers, helping them develop their English skills through interactive lessons, games, conversation activities, and creative projects.
  
  What we love most about our project is seeing our students gain confidence and discover new opportunities through learning English. Many of our students have limited opportunities to interact with native or fluent English speakers, so volunteers play a very important role in inspiring and motivating them.
  
  We currently have two paid staff members: Director and the Pedagogical Coordinator. Both of us are actively involved in teaching English to our students, as well as planning and coordinating the academy’s educational activities. We also organize class schedules, prepare learning activities, monitor students’ progress, and provide guidance and support to our volunteers.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are looking for volunteers who can support our English learning activities with children and teenagers.
  
  The main tasks include helping students practice conversational English, participating in interactive classroom activities, assisting with games and educational projects, and encouraging students to build confidence when speaking English.
  
  Volunteers are also welcome to share their culture, ideas, and creative activities that make learning more engaging and enjoyable. Previous teaching experience is appreciated but not required. We value enthusiasm, responsibility, patience, and a positive attitude when working with young learners.
  
  Our goal is to create a fun, supportive, and inspiring learning environment where students can improve their English while experiencing cultural exchange with people from around the world.
