Program Description
Teach English near La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Description
Ever wanted to visit a tropical paradise?
In Costa Rica, as in most countries in the world, it’s the rural areas that need help and assistance the most; outside the cities resources tend to dry up and children are left with far less opportunities. Luckily for you, rural Costa Rica is also home to some of the most inspiring scenery this side of the National Geographic channel and these schools in particular provide a stunning backdrop to your time here. They are located in and around the small village of La Fortuna in the Central Valley, right by the stunning Arenal Volcano, although not too close! You will be working as an English teaching assistant alongside the local teachers in the schools during the English lessons schedule and you will be a welcome resource appreciated by children and staff alike. Don’t worry we’ll help prepare you with our on-line TEFL training course when you sign up for the project.

Qualifications
What kind of skills you need to go on this type of project:
Most of all for these projects, volunteers must have a love of children and be committed to the project. You will need to be flexible and willing to get involved in anything that is asked of you. You must also be aware that the children you are working with are very lively and also disruptive and will need perseverance and tolerance when working with them.
You will need to be able to think on your feet so that you are able to tailor your lessons to the different needs of the children if necessary. Volunteers who are independent and do not mind being one of the only volunteers in the area would be ideally suited. The schools have limited resources and so you will need to be able to be creative with limited facilities.
