|  Volunteers in South Africa spend the most time teaching English but you can teach other various subjects such as Math or Science in primary and junior secondary schools as well. You will teach conversational English to students aged 5 -10 in primary schools and 11-16 in junior secondary schools. You can read literature to help improve the low comprehension level and poor pronunciation of students. Volunteers will also be able to provide theoretical and practical assistance and aide the teachers as they interact with the students.
South Africa has 4 academic terms a year: January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December. A minimum commitment of 2 weeks is required to volunteer for the Teaching English in South Africa project
Skills/Qualifications Requirements
Volunteers interested in teaching in South Africa do not need to have any specific qualifications for the project except fluency in English and love for the children.
Room/Food/Supervision
Most of our volunteers live in a homestay with local host families and they are provided a private room and three meals. The family and volunteers share use of the bathroom and kitchen facilities and you might also have another volunteer living with you. This also provides a local support network beyond the volunteers and program staff. A lot of the volunteers consider their home stay a vital component of their South African experience.
