Life changing experience

I have been so blessed with this teaching opportunity. It has all been great so far and I am so satisfied and pleased with it. It has definitely surpassed my expectations. The host school is quite well equipped and organized. The instructional support on campus has been outstanding and the adaptation process both at school and the community has been rather easy and progressive. I have loved every second of this experience! I cannot complain and I am so thankful to God and Spirit for making this experience possible. Regards, Yeferson Romaña Correa

Career boost

Teaching in the US has been my goal 5 years ago, and Spirit Cultural Exchange helped me make it happen. They assisted me every step of the way, as I transition from the Philippines to the US. Teaching in the USA also brought me to places, I only saw on movies. I will be forever grateful for this once in a lifetime opportunity.
