If you want teaching experience this is a good opportunity to give it a go! I had guidance throughout so wasn’t left to plan and deliver classes alone. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Most of the classes are in the evening so you have some downtime during the day, although the town is small so there isn’t much to do. Overall I had a good experience, Eduin is a great host.

It was totally awesome. I met so many people, connected with the students, and lived in the local community.
I enjoyed my stay— It was really fun, engaging and dynamic.
It was cool to work with the students that really wanted to learn.
It was interesting to have to refocus on a language you know innately from a novice perspective, and then try to explain it.
But ladies you do get cat called on the streets
in the city and it is HOT. I mean HOT.
Overall I would come back and do it again🫶🏿

I had a great time teaching English in Mariquita. All the other teachers were lovely and super welcoming as were the kids & adults I taught. The town itself is very chilled & calm. I felt very safe here and there are a lot of restaurants. The accommodation I was in was a little out from the town (but they give you a nice bike and I enjoyed the 10 min cycle each day) but you do have to be inside by 21:00 or tell them when you're going in or out as it's a school site which sometimes became a little annoying. There are a few accommodations though. Overall a great experience and I would recommend!

Excellent experience. Really nice little town to explore. There are two locations in Mariquita and another I worked at at another town nearby. My first teaching job and first WP assignment. All staff were very welcoming. Lessons were fun (sometimes teaching, sometimes as a teaching assistant. Accommodation pretty basic (which is fine for me). I was given a bike to use. A couple of things from the advert didn’t seem to happen (lunches, Spanish lessons and hiking tours) but I have no regrets. However I missed a few days of work as I was sick
