  Description

  Hi there!
  
  Our program provides interactive English lessons for beginner to intermediate levels, running Monday through Friday.
  
  We invite international volunteers to give our students a real-world experience of English, exposure to diverse accents, and a chance to engage in cultural exchange. This helps them broaden their horizons and imagine life beyond Brazil.
  
  Our mission is to make quality language education accessible, fostering opportunities, building connections, and enriching lives through the power of learning.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  In São Sebastião, you’ll have the chance to truly experience the local way of life and connect with the community. We’re located just 1.5 kilometers from the beach!
  
  The region has so much to offer: stunning beaches, excellent surfing, adventurous hikes, crystal-clear freshwater pools and waterfalls, and unforgettable excursions to nearby islands. There’s always something new to explore.

  Aide

  We ask for a minimum stay of 4 weeks to foster meaningful connections, as our culture values relationship-based communication.
  
  You’ll teach conversational English to students of all ages (beginner to intermediate) in an interactive way—no Portuguese required! While native-level fluency isn’t necessary, an advanced level of English is essential.
  
  In addition to regular lessons, you’ll lead a workshop where students can practice English naturally, whether by sharing your culture, skills, or interests. It’s a great way to create an immersive, travel-like experience for them!

  Hébergement

  Accommodation:
  
  You’ll be part of our host family during your stay. When you’re here, you’re not just a volunteer, you become part of our family. We share the kitchen, the school’s social spaces, and the classrooms, all located within one large building.
  
  Volunteers stay in a private room with two comfortable beds, shared with one other volunteer. The room is separate from the main house and located right by the pool, offering extra privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. It also includes a private bathroom.
  
  Meals:
  Given that volunteers may have different dietary preferences, we've found it easiest to let volunteers cook for themselves.
  
  In exchange for your help teaching, we provide accommodation and ingredients for two meals per day—breakfast and dinner—each week. You’ll have full access to the kitchen to prepare your own meals.
  
  While many Brazilian dishes include meat or fish, it’s very easy to maintain a vegetarian diet here thanks to the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables.

  A BIT MORE INFO ON FOOD EXPECTATIONS...
  
  Travel is all about adapting, changing routines, letting go of comforts, and discovering new things. Of course, it can feel more challenging if you have dietary restrictions, allergies, or if you’re a selective eater. But that shouldn’t hold you back from experiencing places with different food cultures.
  
  One of the beautiful lessons of travel is learning to release some of the habits consumerism has given us, like expecting everything to be organic, sugar-free, or additive-free. Being open and flexible with food is part of making the most of your journey.
  
  Each week, we’ll ask you to share a simple meal plan and shopping list, noting any preferences or restrictions. Once your weekly ingredients are used up, though, any additional food will be your responsibility. And if you’d like extra snacks or specialty items (which can be pricier here in Brazil), you’re welcome to purchase those separately.
  
  A BIT MORE INFO ON TEACHING...
  
  This is, first and foremost, a teaching position, which means strong communication skills are essential. Teaching isn’t just about knowing the language, it’s about connecting with others, being patient, explaining clearly, listening actively, and adapting to the needs of different learners.
  
  At its core, teaching is about building understanding. It’s about helping others feel confident, supported, and motivated to learn. Clear pronunciation, good grammar, and the ability to communicate ideas effectively are key parts of creating a positive and productive learning environment for our students.
