Teffy is the kindest person I've ever met. She is supportive and easygoing. Always helped me with classes and showed how to be confident with kids. She helped me a lot and also gave me freedom with my own way of teaching. Thank you Teffy for all your care and understanding. I love your friendship and delicious food✨ Btw kids are really cute in the school, they are eager to learn and meet with foreign teachers. 100% recommend this volunteering. This is my first experience and I'm totally satisfied 🤗

My time at the school was great! Teaching children could be messy but a lot of fun, and they were always very engaged in the games. I had few working hours and plenty of free time. The school was far from the city centre, but I actually loved the area — it felt welcoming and was mostly surrounded by young families. I was especially grateful for the chance to visit Teffi's hometown, stay with her mom and meet local people. Communication could be difficult at first, and I had to learn the lesson structure and games on the go, but I quickly got used to it. Overall, a very rewarding experience!

I really enjoyed this volunteering experience! Teaching English to the children at the school Center was truly rewarding. The activities are simple, but they are meaningful and important. I usually teach two classes a day. The children and teenagers are kind, friendly, and lovely to work with 😊✌️ Thuan is absolutely amazing. She is an incredible teacher and cook, always gives you great recommendations, and she and her family make you feel like part of their family from the moment you arrive ❤️ I'm truly grateful for this experience, and I'm going to miss them so, so much! 🥹

My experience was fantastic. The host was friendly, understanding, and an amazing cook. She was supportive throughout the classes. I liked that she gave clear instructions about what was needed for different age groups while also giving me the freedom to teach in my own way. The kids were lovely and sweet. They always made sure foreign visitors felt welcome. The host's family and the locals were genuinely kind and welcoming. I got to experience the local culture and enjoyed every second of my stay!

This was my 18th exchange with Worldpackers. My time with the school was great! Everyone respected our personal time and had plenty of time to explore the area and get in touch with the local culture. I was fortunate enough to have done an exchange with 2 different the school schools both in which where unique and wonderful. It am grateful to be given the opportunity and look forward to another. Thank you to Thuan and her supporting cast! Until next time!
