I got welcomed by Vero and had lunch with the other volunteer. In the afternoon I met the other teachers, some students and could experience how they teach. After that I had the students alone. There is structure with mentioning the topic the students are on, but sometimes I found it hard to calculate the level of the students. The students were motivated! I felt welcomed and had a great time exploring Latacunga and the surroundings in my time and days off. The apartment was at a good location. Quite basic and we had some issues with it, but Vero was always available to answer questions.

I really enjoyed my time at Tic tac toe, Vero was lovely, showed us around town and gave us different recommendations on things to eat/where to go ect. The appartment was spacious and other volunteers were lovely. The work was usually 3-7 pm teaching English to all ages, (mostly young kids- early 20s) with the odd morning shift, the students were all lovely, eager to learn and grateful for your help and tasks straightforward. Thanks Vero and the school😊

I really enjoyed my time volunteering in Latacunga. TicTacToe has a warm and positive atmosphere, and working with the kids was genuinely meaningful. They're curious, energetic, and fun to teach. The place is well-organized, the hours are clear, and the apartment is comfortable. Everything feels simple and stress-free, which makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the experience. I'm really grateful for my time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly and authentic volunteering opportunity

I really loved my time in Latacunga :) volunteering in TicTacToe was an amazing opportunity to practice my teaching skills, learn about the ecuadorian culture and help the local community. Hours of tasks were respected and the apartment is really comfortable. Gracias por todo, Vero!

I really enjoyed my week at TicTacToe English! First of all, the kids were really friendly, and I only worked 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I got the rest of my time to explore the city, as the appartment is located in the city center, and only 1 min away from the school. It has everything you need and all the shops and restaurants are nearby. Concerning the staff, I felt very welcomed by everyone, especially Veronica and her family who took me various times to have food around the city and even went out of their way to help me get my lost luggage back. Thank you for everything!! ⋆.˚𖦹⋆✮⋆.˚

I really enjoyed teaching kids at Tic Tac Toe. The kids are super cute, well behaved and smart. Veronica's family is super kind and made me feel at home. They picked me up from the bus terminal. Throughout the week they gave us some tours around Latacunga and took us for lunch and dinners and introduced us to local food. Had a comfortable apartment to stay. I was sharing the space with another girl. I had my own bed in the living room. And it was only 2 minutes walk to the school. Working here is super chill and fun. I highly recommend. Veronica is great with communication and super friendly
