  Ajuda

  👩‍🏫 Help requested from volunteers
  
  We will prepare classes for you, but most of them will be conversational English sessions and kids follow books activities.
  
  Students are between 5 and 19 years old.
  
  Classes are small, with fewer than 10 students per group.
  
  The students are very friendly and motivated because they love learning English 💬✨.
  
  👥 Here our groups are usually very small — fewer than 6 students per class, and sometimes even just one student. This allows for more personalized attention and a closer connection with each learner. 📚✨
  
  👩‍🏫 In addition, it is important to mention that sometimes volunteers may be asked to support local teachers in a nearby school with larger groups.
  Your role will be to assist the teachers, bring your energy ⚡, and help create a fun and engaging environment for the students. It’s a great way to connect with the community and make a bigger impact! 🌍✨
  
  Knowing some Spanish can be helpful for communication, but it is not required.
