ESL Jobs World : Paid ESL Volunteer

This program is designed for teachers who are ESL, CELTA, DELTA, TEFL, or TESOL certified.  Teachers who are licensed to teach at an elementary or secondary level in the United States, Canada, UK or Australia may also qualify for this position.

Paid ESL Volunteers will receive the equivalent of $300 USD per month as a living stipend.  It is important to emphasize that this is a volunteer opportunity and not the chance to make a lot of money overseas.  This stipend, though meager by U.S. standards, is the equivalent of what a Mexican ESL teacher working the same number of hours would receive as their salary.  Paid ESL Volunteers will also have the unique opportunity of living in an apartment (free of charge) with other Instituto Heslington teachers.

Volunteers are responsible for all of their meals.  Authentic Mexican food is extremely delicious and healthy and volunteers will enjoy amazing culinary treats as they enjoy the local cuisine.

The apartment is a 10-minute walk from the school and is in the heart of downtown Tehuacan.

TEACHING EXPECTATIONS

Volunteers will teach up to five hours a day, five days a week, Monday - Friday.
Saturdays and Sundays are free to allow for travel.  Groups have a maximum of 12 students to facilitate teaching.  Our students range in age from 11 years old – 70 years old – divided into classes according to age and level.

Teachers will have ample time to prepare for their classes and will be provided with basic materials for classroom operation.  Games, props and additional teaching materials can be provided by the volunteer or donated by sponsors.

Teachers will be responsible for taking attendance and keeping grades for their students.  They will also give progress reports to parents at informal parent-teacher meetings.

Volunteers are expected to be punctual, hard working and dedicated to their students.  Volunteers are expected to advise the director if they are ill or cannot attend a certain class for justifiable reasons.

No Spanish is required to volunteer.  What is required is an open mind and enthusiasm.  Instituto Heslington provides the basic curriculum and lesson plans to teach the fundamentals of the English language.  Volunteers have the freedom to integrate activities, games and anything they think will help their students learn and develop.
