Teaching in Nepal

Pupils and teacher in public and private schools throughout Nepal are highly motivated to improve their English. Volunteers support them in learning everyday English skills, however you are welcome to teach maths, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, history etc.. You will be involved in special school activities, like sport events for example. Lessons are 45 minutes long and you will be teaching three to five lessons a day, six days a week.

Especially in the public schools you will face language barriers, but other English teacher will help resolving them. Pupils in public schools are between the age of 6 and 16 years old, in private schools some are as young as 4 years old. Through this project you will receive an insight into Nepalese teaching methods and in case you come during the school holidays, you will have the chance to work in other projects as well (e.g. in an orphanage, youth clubs).

Accommodation and Meals:

During the orientation days you will be staying in a hostel in Kathmandu. Afterwards you will be brought to the project together with other volunteers, where you are accommodated by a host family. You will have your meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) together with your host family. This way you will have the chance to get to know the Nepalese culture, get involved into the community of the village you work in, and find friends easily.
