Great trip teaching english!
September 20, 2025by: Mia Bruder - United StatesProgram: Volunteer Teaching English in Costa RicaI had a fantastic time teaching english in San Jose! I met so many awesome volunteers from around the world and worked with lots of kids from kindergarten to 6th grade. The teachers let me help out in any ways that I could and there were fun activities to do in my free time after work.
It was super fun!
August 03, 2025by: Nicole Nikhinson - United StatesProgram: Volunteer Teaching English in Costa RicaI really enjoyed this program as it gave me so many opportunities to be independent and to immerse myself in the Spanish language. I thought San Jose was great but to an extent as we ran out of things to do by 4th or 5th day. Otherwise, the people were great, the host family was really nice, and I felt like I grew immensely from the experience!
Great time in San Jose!
August 03, 2025by: Savannah Knaup - United StatesProgram: Volunteer Teaching English in Costa RicaI volunteered to teach English with my best friend for two weeks. We loved the kids and teachers, and also had a kind host family. We got to practice Spanish a lot and explore San Jose in our free time. Definitely exercise caution, as it can be a little dangerous here but we were fortunate not to have any bad encounters. Our host family was not walking distance from Maximo and the school was far away, but luckily Uber is cheap and we would recommend!
