Teach English
Nepal Internship Placement
Options
- Full-time volunteer
- Internship
- Part-time volunteer
- Volunteer Only
Education is probably the most important tool in development. Therefore, participants are invited to teach English & Special Education in a self- chosen fashion to the local children at a primary school, as well as at center premises during & after school activities.
Volunteers are also welcome to teach different subjects e.g. mathematics, history, science, geography, computer, technologies, music and other subjects. All higher education in Nepal is in English, so it is vitally important that children must learn English to continue further higher education.
Schools usually have a very dull curriculum of rote learning and pointless exams, so extra activities such as sports and games are really appreciated by the children. It's also a good idea to bring posters, pictures, music tapes and so on to brighten up lessons.
Volunteers will teach English to children at the local primary school as well as organize extra-curricular programs at the volunteer center. Activities can include arts and crafts or sports like football, hockey, cricket and athletics, as well as homework assistance
