Teach English
Tanzania Volunteer Placement

Options

  • Full-time volunteer
  • Internship
  • Part-time volunteer
  • Volunteer Only

Though English is commonly used in Tanzania, not many children can afford the cost of language lessons. There is a high demand for native English speakers in public schools, and even some private schools in more remote areas. The ability to speak English can not only make daily life easier, but can open job opportunities, as Tanzania is a popular tourist destination.

Volunteers will teach in public schools, private schools, or schools run by local orphanages, where they will teach 2-3 hours per day, 6 days per week as an English teacher's assistant. Students will range from primary-secondary-high school aged. Volunteers will be also expected to organize extra-curricular activites to help students learn more; this may include playing games or teaching English songs.

Work Schedule: 30-40 hours per week.
