Program description: |
|
|
Guatemala is known as the Centre of the Mayan World. It is called The Land of Eternal Spring. Not only one of the most beautiful and culturally rich countries in Central America, it is also one of the largest. With oceans on two sides and bordered by Mexico, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador, there is a lot to explore!
Imagine volcanoes, thick tropical forests and outstanding Mayan ruins that stretch out and above the surrounding forest canopy - you'll find it all here in this extraordinary country.
In Guatemala you can teach conversational English to children and adults. Hours of teaching will most probably be around 4-5 per day. It is possible that some classes you teach will be throughout the day and sometimes mostly in the mornings and between 4 and 7 o'clock in the afternoons. Class periods are generally 45 minutes long
The schools are very colourful and often classes take place outdoors.
Most of the schools we work with are based in the beautiful small city of Antigua, but some are in pueblos on the edge of the city. The city itself is only about 2 kilometres long!
Your accommodation will most likely be living with local families and this enables you to really become totally immersed in the local culture and gain insights into the way of life from the inside.
