Description

The teaching programs take place in Kathmandu and in several other areas of Nepal and in both public and private schools. Besides English, volunteers are needed for subjects that include mathematics, science, population and environment, art, history and music.

Volunteers in Nepal will not just teach academic subjects, but also organise creative activities, as well as lend their experience and enthusiasm to extra-curricular activities. The age range of the pupils is from three to sixteen years. The local teachers will also benefit from the volunteer's native English-speaking skills.

Should school holidays fall within the placement period, alternative activities will be arranged for the volunteer in Nepal, which may include learning Nepali language, culture and tradition, or visiting places of interest. A teaching qualification is not a requirement, but the volunteer's must have completed secondary education.
