Lingo Language Center
Tendrías la posibilidad de conocer pueblos, paisajes, cascadas y rincones de Boyacá que pocas turistas tienen la posibilidad de conocer. Sería una experiencia única de compartir con la cultura boyacense y de perfeccionar el español (muy pocas personas en Paipa son bilingües). Y serías parte de un staff muy sociable con el cual contaras con amigos dispuestos a compartir aventuras 😊
En el momento el equipo está conformado por dos personas un profesor licenciado en Idiomas y una administrativa. Somos un centro de Lenguas nuevo en Paipa(Y el primero ;) ). El profesor es muy divertida y un apasionado por su profesión. Le encanta hacer las clases muy dinámicas y divertidas para los estudiantes. Ama la bicicleta y realizar caminatas en los pueblos cercanos. La administrativa es una chica sociable le encanta aprender idiomas y es la creadora del Instituto. Disfruta de la naturaleza y la comida local :D Ahora, buscamos unos voluntariados que tienen ganas de dar clases de inglés o ayudar a una empresa extender su alcance por las redes sociales. Se prefiere que los voluntariados tengan experiencia con la ensenañza o con la administración de redes sociales. (Right now, we are looking for volunteers who wish to teach English classes or help a small business grow its social media outreach. Volunteers with teaching or social media management experience are preferred.)

In just one week Emilia and her colleagues and friends helped me to immerse myself into the Boyacan culture. Besides work, I played Tejo, Bolirana and learned some new Spanish words and learned about the culture and work. You sleep in a cool house in Tuta and work in Paipa. It’s cool to actually stay a week in this friendly town and become friends with the people. It felt like home! It’s also a sportive city and you can find enough coffee corners :) Emilia herself is always busy, so take good care of her. She is funny, just like her friends!

Had a wonderful time here. The students are great and learn you a lot of both the language and the culture. You also have a lot of responsibility for the classes right from the beginning as the host Emilia is a very busy girl (a lot of things going on at the same time). She always has a positive attitude and always laughs. The town Paipa where you work is both safe and lovely with wonderful people & amazing food and also Tuta (where you live) Ps, you will need 8-10 dollars/euros a day for the bus-ride (20-30 mins) and for food everyday. Highly recommend!!

I loved my experience at Lingo! If I could of stayed longer I honestly would have:) Emilia is super fun, caring and lovely! Teaching, even for a novice like me was great. I learnt alot, it sparked up a passion and I'm now looking at more teaching opportunities. Everyone I met in Paipa were so nice and welcoming, food is super fresh & everything is so affordable. It was really relaxing to chill and have fulfilling days. Would love to come back and visit!

I've done other volunteers before, but this was my first experience teaching and it was really nice to connect with locals, definitely an interesting challenge to teach English to Spanish speakers when I don't speak Spanish so well, but I think I managed just fine in the end. The house where you stay is far from the city where the school is located, but it's very comfortable and there are frequent buses. Emilia, the host, is super sweet. The only problem maybe is that I was expecting 3 meals and 50k pesos per week is not enough to cover that. Overall though, it was a very rich experience :)
