Program Details
We are a family-run English school near Ubud, Bali, with 500+ local students in more than 40 classes, from elementary school children to teens and adults.
Volunteers join our classes as conversation partners. You don't replace the teacher: a local teacher leads every class, and you help students practice real speaking and listening with someone from another country. For many of our students, you will be the first foreigner they have ever had a real conversation with.
We welcome volunteers for a minimum of 1 week and up to 2 weeks. Before you arrive, we confirm your dates and send your personal class schedule, so you know exactly what to expect. No teaching experience is needed, only clear English and a friendly, patient attitude.
In exchange, we provide accommodation.

- You visit several classes per day, usually 30 minutes in each class
