I had a wonderful experience at the school in Cuenca, Ecuador. The staff and students were warm and welcoming, and everything was clear from the start with no last-minute surprises. I will definitely return, and I want to thank Michell and Nina, along with the rest of the staff, for welcoming me. I highly recommend it—Cuenca, Ecuador truly felt like my second home.

This was a good two weeks of my life. I learnt a lot about Cuenca and Ecuador from the students and sometimes could have a real laugh with them. They also shared a few words and phrases of Spanish. The place is good to stay, good kitchen and nice little patch of grass. Plenty food is provided considering it’s just breakfast. And one night we went out with the teachers for pizza which was really cool. I would say that before the other volunteer arrived I felt a little isolated as although the teachers are lovely they are understandably busy with many hours of teaching. Otherwise it was fab!

I had a great time at the school. The staff were very kind and accommodating. It was a pleasure to speak with the students, and I learnt a great deal from them about the culture and lives of Ecuadorians. The school is located very close to the centre, and they were flexible and supportive with the work schedule.

My experience at the school was very rewarding, since I got to interact with the students of different age groups as well as different English levels sometimes. That truly push me to become more creative to keep the groups engaged at all times. I've learned so much. The accommodation is in campus, while it was ok, it sometimes was too overstimulating for me. The hours and agreed terms were respected. I think maybe the culture is quieted, because the communications was held to a minimum. Overall I'm super grateful for the experience and do recommend it. Thank you!!
