Teaching english in kenya

Save to Favorites

Teach English, Mathematics, Science and
other subjects at our primary schools in urban
and rural areas of Kenya. No teaching
certificate is required, but native English
speakers are preferred.
Your voluntary contribution to teach English as
a second language in Kenya or to teach other
subjects, will be highly appreciated and
fulfilling to yourself. We work with a number of
schools where teaching volunteers will be
placed..
Those volunteering for international teaching
in Kenya are expected to have at least
graduated from high school or be enrolled in a
college. On completion of a mandatory
overseas teaching orientation, the overseas
volunteer teachers will be expected to work
for between 4 to 5 hours a day.
The number of local teachers per school is
normally small. In some schools the student
to teacher ratios are so high, but sometimes
in Kenya, thats the only chance the students
have to learn and make something out of their
lives.
The students range in age from 4 to 14 from
pre-kindergarten to class 8. For the younger
children, you can help them with
conversational English, basic math, arts &
crafts, board games, playground games, sports
like soccer and running, music, and any other
talents you wish to share. For the older
students, you can teach more formal subjects
like English, science, math, and history. The
school schedule is Monday-Friday from 8am to
4pm with a two-hour sports period from 3-5pm
where the students do things like cross-
country running, soccer, and basketball.
All classes are taught in English in Kenya.
