The ability to read and write well in English is very important in Tanzania. Often, people’s careers take a steep climb up as a result of this ability. Lately, due to commerce and tourism, the importance of English has grown even more making it absolutely necessary to learn English. Not all Tanzanians are however fluent in English and not all schools are equipped with well trained and experienced English teachers. It’s often in the schools at poorer regions that will lack trained manpower. As a result of this, the students aren’t well groomed and don’t develop required English skills to succeed in life.
RCDP is now attempting to change this situation and give hope to students attending schools in poorer area. Join our Teaching English volunteer project now and help us achieve this feat and give young Tanzanians reason to dream of a better future. You’ll find the students extremely eager to learn from a foreign volunteer and generally well behaved.
You will teach English to nursery, primary and secondary school kids between the age group of 6-16.
No specific qualification needed to volunteer in Teaching English project. We do however expect our volunteers to be fluent English speakers (not necessarily native English speakers). Volunteers should also be flexible and patient. No previous teaching experience desire.
Volunteer will assist or teach 2-3 hours (or more hours if you want) a day, six days a week in either a private or a public school and follow the official curriculum. You can also use your own methods to organize games, plays and other creative activities. You are also encouraged to hold debates and discussions as this can increase the ability of the students to comprehend English better.
RCDP will look after your entire needs while you volunteer in Teaching English project. During the volunteering period, volunteers stay with a host family and will be provided a separate room and share bath room facilities. We have chosen our host family carefully and they will provide with a safe and secure location for you to stay. They will have experience of hosting foreign volunteers before and at least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. The host family serves typical Tanzanian food three free meals a day. Staying with a host family is a wonderful way to learn about the lifestyle and culture of Tanzania. RCDP In-Country coordinator and staffs will keep in touch with you by either visiting you every week or will contact with via phone. You will be provided with all the contact details of our office in Tanzania. If you have anything you want to discuss about, please feel free to contact our In-Country coordinator.
The mission of RCDP-Nepal is to encourage international volunteers to contribute in sustainable community development that benefits the underprivileged and extremely poor. By developing the places and the communities, the volunteers are also developing themselves and learning new perspectives and ideas that will ultimately change their lives.
