  Descrição

  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.

  Ajuda

  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!

  Acomodação

  Accommodation:
  
  I will be your host family. When you're here, you become part of our family, so "make yourself at home."We share the kitchen, the social school area, and the school classrooms, all within one large building.
  
  Volunteers have a private room with two comfortable beds, shared with another volunteer. The room is separate from the main house and located by the pool, offering a bit more privacy. It also comes with a bathroom featuring a sink, mirror, toilet, and a shower with lush hot water.
  
  And there's more—YOU HAVE AIR CONDITIONING (Although we usually only use the air conditioning in summer when it gets very hot.)
  
  Meals:
  Given that volunteers may have different dietary preferences, we've found it easiest to let volunteers cook for themselves.
  
  In exchange for your work teaching, we provide accommodation and ingredients for two meals—breakfast and dinner—each week. You’ll have access to the kitchen to prepare your own meals. We’ll ask for a meal plan and shopping list, including any dietary requirements. Just keep in mind, once your ingredients are used up, you’ll be responsible for the rest of the week’s meals.
  (We would appreciate it if you could do the same—integrate yourself and try to have as much natural Brazilian food as possible.)
  
  If you'd like snacks or certain foods from your country that are expensive here (for example: brie cheese, pesto, parmesan cheese), you'll need to buy these with your own money. Although many traditional dishes include meat or fish, it's not difficult to live on vegetarian food as well, given the rich supply of fruits and vegetables in Brazil.

  A BIT MORE INFO ON FOOD EXPECTATIONS
  
  Travelling is all about reinventing and change of routine and lifestyle: whether it is how much you sleep and where, how long you have to wait for transport, doing without home comforts or trying new things.
  
  So yes, travelling is going to be a bit more challenging when you have certain dietary restrictions, food allergies OR when you are simply a picky eater. While it might be difficult — and sometimes even impossible(!) — to stick to your diet while away, it doesn’t mean that you can’t or shouldn’t visit countries where people have eating habits vastly different from yours. As a seasoned traveller (currently a workaway host), here is an advice on how you can respect both your dietary requirements and the local customs without going hungry.
  
  It’s important to remember that most of you come from countries where have a ridiculous amount of choice. Food has not been hard for the average person to find. Food, therefore, has gone from primarily being a source of nourishment to be a source of entertainment. Variety and flavor in foods are important to the development countries. They exercise their freedom of choice when it comes to eating. In a poor country or in a poor family almost anywhere, the priority is filling the stomach, not having a variety of special taste in foods.
  
  Consumerism trains us to be fussy that we should only eat organic, low fat, additive-free products that contain little or no salt and sugar. When we travel, we have to lose some of these hang-ups and high expectations, otherwise we're not going to be able to make the most of our time away.
