Program Highlights

With placements based mainly in the semi-rural Akuapem Hills, but also available in Accra, Cape Coast, Koforidua, and Kumasi, English teaching opportunities in Ghana are varied.

Your friendly Ghanaian teaching colleagues act as supervisors and ensure that you feel happy with your classes.
