    Description

    Hi, I'm Mohamed, and I've been living in Ambato, Ecuador, for the past eight years. I’m excited to offer a unique opportunity at my English center where you'll be around me as a manager and 2 staff members who are friendly and easy going. Our center is located in a very convenient neighborhood, with everything you need just a short walk away. We have a mall only 10 minutes away on foot, supermarkets literally 2 minutes away, the best grill restaurant in Ambato right in front of us, pharmacies, grocery stores, and we're just a square away from the main avenue, Atahualpa, where you can catch a bus to any place in the city.

    This is a fantastic opportunity to meet local people and make friends, as we don't restrict you to any kind of syllabus or formal structure. Just have a conversation and enjoy!

    We need your help with the conversations for 5 horas a day, from Monday through Friday. We can discuss and arrange the exact hours to suit your schedule, and the hours do not need to be consecutive.

    Come join us in Ambato and immerse yourself in the local culture. Welcome to our community!

    Our primary focus is on engaging conversations that help our students improve their English while allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture. These interactions include:

    -Daily Conversations:
    Spend four hours each day engaging in meaningful discussions with our students on a wide range of topics. This helps them practice their English and allows you to learn about Ecuadorian culture and everyday life.

    -Cultural Discussions:
    Share stories about your own culture, traditions, and experiences, and learn about those of our students. This mutual exchange enriches both you and the students, fostering a deeper understanding of each other's backgrounds.

    -Informal Gatherings:
    Occasionally, we host informal gatherings where you can meet other volunteers, students, and staff in a relaxed setting, promoting friendship and cultural exchange.

    At our English center, we are seeking friendly volunteers who can help our students improve their English speaking skills through engaging conversations. Your primary role will involve spending four hours each day conversing with our students, helping them to practice and gain confidence in their spoken English.

    It doesn't matter where you come from or what kind of accent you have.

    We emphasize a natural and enjoyable learning environment, so there is no need for formal teaching experience or strict adherence to a syllabus. Instead, we encourage free-flowing conversations on a variety of topics that interest both you and the students. This allows for a more relaxed and authentic language practice experience.

    In addition to conversation practice, we also invite volunteers to participate in cultural exchange activities, assist with language games, and share their personal experiences and knowledge. This interaction not only aids in language learning but also helps build meaningful connections between you and the students.

    We are looking for individuals who genuinely enjoy interacting with people from diverse backgrounds. If you have a passion for cultural exchange, you will be a great fit for our center.

    Join us in Ambato for a rewarding experience, where you can make a positive impact on our students' lives while immersing yourself in the local culture.
