Heritage Tourism Programs in India

Teaching English in India gives you the great opportunity to share your knowledge with others and experience a new culture from within. It is one of the best ways to truly catch a glimpse of the soul of a place. You’ll have a lot of fun and gain valuable skills while your students practice their skills with you learning English in a whole new way. Volunteers will teach for approximately 3 to 5 hours per day five days a week. In this program, volunteers can work by themselves or alongside other teachers and volunteers. Volunteers are also encouraged to work with local teachers to develop new teaching practices and help with their personal conversational English to enable them to teach English in the future. We work with seven schools (rural schools and slum schools) in Delhi; six are located in Faridabad, Delhi. On the Dharamsala program, the schools are located in and around the towns of Bir and Dharamsala. Volunteers do not need to be qualified teachers or have previous teaching experience in order to teach on this program.
