| TEACH ENGLISH TO UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN IN KATHMANDU AND BHAKTAPUR | NEPAL |
| . | . |
|
Teach English and other subjects to children at a range of
schools and districts in Nepal from 2 weeks to 3 months!
You can also use this as an opportunity to teach
different topics of language each time; e.g. family life, hobbies, food,
etc. Another great idea would be to set up an after school club to
engage the children in a range of extra-curricular activities. Nepal is a very diverse and cultural country, filled with stunning landscapes, different climatic zones and endless sights to explore.
Also on this page: PROJECT OVERVIEW You'll teach children at a range of schools and districts in Nepal. You can choose the length of time you want to spend on the project, from 2 weeks to 3 months (or longer, depending on visa restrictions). Our teaching programmes are very flexible. You will mainly be teaching conversational English, however, there is also the opportunity to teach Art, Drama and Sports – depending on where your interest lies! The great thing is that you don't need to have any prior qualifications for this project, so anyone can take part!
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN FROM DOING THIS PROJECT:
An exciting, never-to-be-forgotten adventure into beautiful Nepal
and its fascinating culture.
The enormous satisfaction of helping disadvantaged children and
knowing that you made a difference to them.
New skills, more confidence, a greater understanding
of a different culture, invaluable personal and professional
development.
An entry on your CV or résumé that will put you head
and shoulders above most others in the job market
And best of all ... an unforgettable experience!
We work at a number of privately owned and government-run schools in the
districts of Kathmandu and Bhaktapur. The children at each of the schools
range from age 3-16 years and you're most likely to take classes
for children aged 8-14 years old, as this is where the most assistance is
required.
Depending on the length of your placement, it’s likely that you'll be
placed at one or perhaps a variety of schools. Generally, you will work
from 10-4 pm from Monday to Friday, leaving you with the weekends free to
explore your surroundings.
Your work will mainly involve assisting the children with conversational
English – and you can definitely be creative here, by bringing in games,
books, magazines and many more items to get you planning creative and
interactive lessons. You can also use this as an opportunity to teach
different topics of language each time; e.g. family life, hobbies, food
etc. Another great idea would be to set up an after school club to
engage the children in a range of extra-curricular activities.
Why not take part in an optional
weekend TEFL course before the start of your
project? This will help you to gain valuable skills and techniques that
you can use on your project, such as teaching strategies, lesson
planning and classroom management. We provide a special Travellers
Worldwide discount for our volunteers.

| ACCOMMODATION AND TRAVEL | |
|
Your accommodation during the teaching programme will be in our conveniently
located volunteer house in Bhaktapur – specifically set aside for teaching
volunteers. In the house, there are live-in staff who will be available if
you need any assistance throughout your stay, and they will also prepare
your meals (three a day), which are included in the cost of your programme.
The accommodation is within a 5 to 45 minute journey from the schools
(either walking or by bus, depending on the school that you’re placed at) –
and on your induction, you will be shown how to get to the schools). The
house is also just 4km from the city of Bhaktapur. The house is simple but
clean, and consists of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms – and during your stay,
you will most likely share a room with other volunteers.
