Had a wonderful experience at the host! You have a lot of free time to travel and meet plenty of people to travel with. Having conversations in English with Moroccan students was fun and a good way to be immersed in the culture, most students are very interested to talk with you. The host, Harim is very helpful and understanding!

I had a fantastic time at the school. It was such an eye opening experience to learn about the students culture, traditions and hardships. The students are lovely to talk to and funny. The teachers are really kind. We had lunched cooked for us by a very funny lady on Fri and Sat. The hours are very fair and you have time to explore Morocco. Harim is very kind, accommodating and replies very quickly. I was put in the uptown school which is quieter and residential but the volunteers made it! I have experienced so much kindness & joy, I am leaving with a full heart and lots of life lessons.

My experience at the host was good especially because of the location,my fellow volunteers and the daily interaction with the local students. I learned a lot from the place and the people and I feel enriched by this opportunity.The school where we stayed was okaybut the host wasn't very transparent about the location:when I applied the website said Casablanca but only the day before my departure he clarified that I would be going to Berrechid.There was another supervisor but she was rarely around and we felt a bit left on our own.Thelessonswerevery enjoyable,interesting,stimulating

My stay at the host was a mixed bag. The trips that were organized by the host were amazing, I loved being able to see so much of the country. The main issues were the accommodations and the hosts ineptitude when it came to dealing with volunteers. He comes off as very nice, but has a vindictive side. Even when violently ill, you are still expected to sit 2 feet away from students and converse with them. We had agreed on a private room and that was dangled over our heads in exchange for working while sick. The work itself was very easy, but don't expect hot water/laundry

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I was so pleased. There were definitely many go with the flow moments, but that's traveling for you...and nothing left a strongly bad impression. Harim and Khalili were welcoming and helpful the entire month I was there. The school offers short trips across Morocco, which were so fun & inexpensive.
The work is simple as long as you like to talk. You chat with students ages 6-55 (usually 1-3 people) after they finish class for 60-90 mins (5 days/week). There is a cleaner who comes and you get 3 meals/week which was a delightful surprise!

My experience at the host was great. I arrived there right after the vacation started so I got to go on a Trip to the desert organized by the host Harim and went to his farm for some time afterwards. What made my time in morocco was meeting lots of other travelers from around the world.
After coming to Berrechid and the to Casablanca I also experiences the Work which was super easy and the working hours are really chill.

We had a wonderful experience at the host. The staff is very caring and helpful, including the teachers, administrators, and other volunteers. We arrived in the middle of August. Unfortunately, there were no courses in Casablanca's Uptown area, but Harim gave us the option of staying and exploring Morocco. I recommend it.

The job is super chill: you just chat with students about class topics, practice English, teach vocab or correct them. All this while you learn about Moroccan culture. I loved this way of teaching, and the students are reeeally nice. Harim is very relaxed and flexible if you want a free day or even to switch schools. I first expected to be in Casablanca but ended up in Berrechid, a small non-touristic city. At first it felt boring, but I ended up loving the people, the school, the chill vibes, and the volunteers' team. Totally recommend it!

My time at the host was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had. The volunteer work is both meaningful and enjoyable—you help students improve their spoken English while immersing yourself in the local culture, customs, and cuisine. Harim, the host, is kind and accommodating, with multiple locations to choose from. A highlight for me was connecting with fellow volunteers from around the world. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone looking to make a real difference.

The task is having conversations with the students, it's very pleasant and the hours are relaxed. You will have 3-4 days of work and 3-4 free days a week during which you can easily make trips all around the country. Also the host will provide the opportunity to join organized tours like the desert tour which i highly recommend. Overall its a great opportunity to dive into Moroccan culture in a smooth way while also meeting other international travelers and cool people along the way.
