Hello everybody !!!
Do you like children? And have an ability in teaching English?
I welcome you to our school.
We are a primary school which is located in Bali. it is about 5 kilometers from Ubud.
We are looking for an enthusiast and energetic English teacher to teach children aged 6 - 12. We have 6 classes (1st grade - 6th grade), there are 26 students in each class.
We have an English teacher to teach the kids but we need extra support from English speakers who hopefully like to stay and help our little kids to play and learn some English. There are some volunteers came to us and I really enjoy the experience so we hope to find new volunteers.
We don't host more than 2 volunteers at the same time. A minimum stay of 2 weeks is preferred.
For the volunteers, it will be a great opportunity to learn and gain experience with the kids and the Balinese culture.
The kids will love you as their friends :)

Had an amazing experience teaching at School. From the first moment I already loved the kids, they are very sweet and joyful.
They had an open house during my stay for the parents and other visitors, which the students and teachers all prepared a lot for. It was wonderful to see the cultural programs and how the whole day was conducted.

I had a wonderful time at this school. You assist the English teachers in grades 1-6 and have time during the day to relax, eat lunch with the kids, and take a break between lessons. The school is really well run and I really enjoyed being there. I learned a lot and am really glad I did this. Thank you!!
