The Experience

Hi guys!! We would be glad to have you at our English Center, students are more than happy to practice their speaking skills with foreigners, You just have to come and talk to them, share your knowledge, hobbies, culture and learn from our culture as well. We have kids from ages 5 up to teens and adults. Working groups are small so it can be a real significant time to get to know each other. In your free time you have lots of fun things to do.

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
