Volunteer in Nepal

Job Description

Embark on an adventure surrounded by the Himalayan mountains, filled with the friendliest of faces, trekking trails leading to the peaks of Mount Everest, being fuelled by dal bhat and the blessings of Dashain Tika. Here you will find Shangri-la around every corner, whether at the highest peak or the lowest river, from sunrise to sunset, just one “Namaste!” away.

This is more than just an opportunity to teach … it’s about making a lasting impact on the lives of your students, empowering them to shape their futures and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways. You’ll be teaching English, but you’ll also be providing your students with a skill that will unlock a multitude of opportunities.

Teaching placements are in the Dhading District, west of Kathmandu. After being picked up at the airport you will be shown around the area (to help work off the jet lag) before heading out to the village where you will be staying with a homestay family. Living with a homestay family will not only give you a roof over your head and food to eat but it will also be an opportunity to experience Nepal and its culture through the eyes of the locals.

As a TEFL volunteer, you will be conducting English language classes to Nepali students. Your duties can include anything from assisting and/or giving English language lessons, creating lesson plans, and preparing learning material based on the curriculum provided.

You can expect to teach to students in grades K-10. However more emphasis will be on grades K-3.

General school hours are from 9:30 am – 4 pm, wherein you will be expected to provide up to 5 language classes per day.

 Tasks:

  • Volunteer for 5.5 days per week. General school hours are between 9:30 am – 4 pm
  • Commit to a 2 - 3 month contract minimum (teachers are encouraged to stay longer)
  • Provide up to 5 language classes per day to approximately 15 students per class
  • Captivate the minds of your students by developing lessons with the available materials and resources
  • Make adjustments to lesson plans based on student performance
  • Teachers are encouraged to contribute to extra-curricular activities such as providing conversation sessions and meeting with families

Benefits:

  • Home-stay accommodation is provided throughout the duration of the teaching placement
  • Airport pick up/drop off
