Program description: |
 |
|
Classes may sometimes be big but two things are guaranteed to be bigger - the impact you make, and the reward you feel. You will be working in schools alongside teachers to guide students through difficult aspects of their syllabus. Knowledge is a universal currency, especially writing and speaking fluent English. You will soon see the impact you can make across different age-groups and subject areas.
Although Costa Rica boasts one of the highest literacy rates in Latin America, there is still a large number of children that still cannot read and write, let alone speak English. This is mainly due to a lack of funding, and therefore staffing, within the schools. Many children do not even reach secondary school and the figures for many illiterate and out-of-school children are often neglected.
You will also enjoy getting involved with our Volunteer sports teams where you may even have the opportunity to play against local teams in Costa Rica!
