| TEACH A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS TO CHILDREN IN KERALA |
INDIA |
| . | . |
|
Teaching in India is a sheer joy; enthusiastic and polite students all eager to learn. You can teach English, Computer Science, Sports, Music, Art, and Science subjects. The schools are very keen to give the children exposure to international volunteers as it benefits the children enormously.
Also on this page: PROJECT OVERVIEW
On arrival, you'll be introduced to the Principal and staff on your first day and they will discuss your teaching programme with you. It's a mixed school with around 600 children, all of whom will be waiting to meet you with wide smiles! The ages of the children range from 3 to 18. The facilities at the school are very good and the staff is very keen to have foreign volunteers because the children benefit enormously in many different ways to the exposure to people from different cultures. Not only will you be giving invaluable teaching and education to the school, your involvement with the children will bring immense satisfaction and enjoyment! You don't need any qualifications to participate on this project, but you should have a good knowledge of the subject (or subjects) you'd like to teach. If you haven't taught before, a great way to become more confident in the classroom is to take part in a weekend TEFL course. Not only will this help you with how to go about lesson planning, it will also give you an introduction about teaching abroad as well as ways to get the children inspired and eager to learn!You will be reminded of fantastic children’s games, tips on how to remember everyone’s names as well as an opportunity to look through all the latest teaching books. Even if you have had experience in a classroom before, it’s always reassuring to take part in one of our courses to help you prepare for teaching overseas. We also give you a Teaching Suggestions Guide which we have prepared in-house to give you lots of ideas.

OTHER SUBJECTS: Teaching Art is an excellent way of engaging children’s imaginations and encourages them to communicate with few constraints. What’s more, it is very satisfying to watch their confidence grow as they learn and develop new skills. The school are also keen on volunteers wishing to teach music. The school has its own band troupe that performs on occasions such as Annual Day, Sports Day, Cultural festivals and youth festivals, so if you have an interest in teaching anything from the recorder to trumpet we will try our best to accommodate you! All the children at the school are expected to take part in physical education classes and sports so you may also have the opportunity to teach some of the following sports:
The school have regular competitions in sport that are in-house and they also compete against other schools and at district level, so you may be able to add your input and help coach the children to competition level! |

| ACCOMMODATION AND TRAVEL | |
|
You'll either live with a host family or in an apartment. In either
accommodation you may share a room with another Travellers volunteer. The
accommodation you’ll be allocated to will depend on which project you’re
doing and the number of volunteers there at the same time as you. However,
if you have a preference for either a host family or staying in an
apartment, we will do our best to accommodate you. Food is not included in the placement if you're staying in an apartment, so you'll need to budget for your meals. This option gives you the choice to either cook for yourself or make the most of the opportunity to sample the fantastic local cafes and restaurants - Remember, Trivandrum food is known as God's own food in God's own country! Eating out is cheap in India. You’ll be able to sample excellent south Indian Thali’s and Dosa’s. A staple of Keralan cuisine is coconut so do not miss the wonderful Keralan curries. Rice is also served with most dishes and being on the coast you will get fresh sea food. Vegetarians are very well catered for and the markets stocked with an array of delicious fruit and vegetables.
