The Experience

Volunteers will speak with students learning English, contributing to a immersive English-speaking environment. This experience not only helps students improve their English, but also opens doors for their future. Our approach is learning through activity-based lessons, making the students learning both enjoyable and effective. We provide comfortable accommodation in a fully furnished apartment, conveniently located just across from the school.

Staying with Esteban and Tami was awesome. The bedroom bathroom and kitchen are all very good, and the house is cozy. Work hours are reasonable and it’s a very rewarding experience. The accomodation is right next to the school so easy to get back and forth. We were also served delicious lunches 5 days a week.

My volunteering experience at SALC was very good. The host, Esteban, is fair, professional, and very understanding. The work at the school was straightforward, and the agreed schedule was respected.

Although the neighborhood is far from the main tourist attractions, it has plenty of good supermarkets nearby, which made me very happy!

Ah, the food they prepare for the volunteers is absolutely delicious and healthy. Always healthy.

SALC Calderón was an amazing experience, and I'm so incredibly glad to have been a part of the team for the 3+ weeks I stayed. Esteban and his mom, Tammy, were extremely accommodating and ensured I and the other volunteers always had everything we needed. The students were incredibly interactive and welcoming, too. A key memory was waking to to finding 3 new kittens living in the backyard with us during my stay!

I spent two weeks volunteering here. It was incredible experience! The accommodation was spacious and clean, it was thoroughly cleaned once a week, making it very comfortable. Since it's an apartment right across the street from the academy, privacy is well guaranteed.

Calderon is not a touristy downtown area, but a neighborhood where you can experience the authentic daily life of Ecuadorian locals. It's a bit far from the city center, but I managed to explore Quito during my free time after morning shifts or during my two consecutive day off per week
