Descrição
We are the largest private English language school in Tunja, Colombia (located about 2 hours north of Bogota). Our students range from very young children just starting to learn English to seasoned professionals wishing to brush up their English skills. One of our key teaching objectives is to have all of our students interact with teachers from different parts of the world so that they can also learn about different cultures while learning English.
If you have a little bit of teaching experience, pedagogic background, or English teaching certified (TELF or CELTA certified), we do accept nonnative speakers with an excellent English level, feel free to contact us.
We provide accommodation and electricity, hot water, Wifi, Kitchen, gas and house facilities, and one daily lunch Monday to Saturday.
In exchange, you will have to teach between 18 and 20 hours, classes in-person and a few online.

I cannot recommend this workaway more. I had an amazing experience here at the institute for 2 months of my trip and it was sad to leave. Jay, Manuel, Mayerlin, Andres, Camilo, Juan and all the staff could not have made my time here more special. They are always there to talk or help you with any problems you may have, but also they are… read more

I had a great experience working in Tunja! From the moment I arrived everyone was so kind and welcoming, which I really appreciated.
Teaching classes is a lot of fun! This Workaway does involve a lot of work some weeks, but I really enjoyed the work so that was ok. The students (mostly teenagers and adults) are great and so much fun to work… read more

I echo the sentiment of the fellow teachers who wrote reviews. This was my best workaway experience so far. I volunteered for the institute during 2.5 fun-filled months and would highly recommend this organization.
The students are the absolute “luces de mi vida,” and the fellow volunteers became like a family. The staff was always helpful and… read more

I volunteered here for 2.5 months and it was the greatest experience of my life! The institute itself is better than what I could have imagined before arriving. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and obviously very Colombian, so it helps if you are an outgoing warm person because that is what Colombian people are like. I got to live… read more

Spent 2 months teaching here in Tunja. Overall was very happy with the tasks, the living conditions, and the staff you help.
Some individual comments:
Help: hours will vary depending on the number of volunteers present, but will be anywhere between 15-25 hours.
The place: You'll teach a wide range of ages and abilities, you have good access… read more

I had an absolute blast teaching English in Tunja! This place is a private English institue, and everyone there is una chimba! (colombian for awesome but also means something else ;)) I made a ton of friends between the students and other volunteers and Colombian staff. I was there for 3 months and I spent this time staying with the family of one… read more

I would highly recommend staying here to anyone who is interested in experiencing some true Colombian culture in a city which is off the general tourist route. There are plenty of picturesque and beautiful towns around the area which are also untouched and breathtaking. With free salsa and Spanish classes along with a truly friendly and outgoing… read more
