Teach English at Buddhist Monastaries in Nepal
Durations of Program:
2-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks and 9-12 weeks
Typical Duration of
Program: 5-8 weeks
Dates: multiple
dates year round
Description: One
thing we can promise you on this project is that your students will be well
behaved! You're sure to learn as much as you teach in gorgeous Nepal! With well
behaved and positive students ranging in age from 8 to 25 its a great
opportunity to gain a wide variety of experience and test your TEFL
certification, which is included with the trip. Some schools are affected by
pujas (festivals) which can give you some free time to fit in some trekking
before school starts again. From your base it couldn't be easier to plot a
route into the mountains and for those who don't fancy doing it alone, fear
not, the city is full of travelers looking for walking buddies.
Highlights: What
were the highlights of your trip that you couldn't wait to tell your friends
about?
"The wonderful people that I met while I was there and
the huge cultural differences between our countries. The colours and the sounds
that are Kathmandu, oh and the smells. The opportunities to experience many
different aspects of Nepal. It is such a diverse place to visit." (Kim
Worgan)
Many schools in Nepal lack the funds to provide effective
English language training. Native or fluent English speakers with or without
formal teaching experience can contribute greatly to a child's educational
development. Career prospects for children of Nepal often rely on their
knowledge of English, and by teaching English, you become an important part of
the community.
If you have an interest in and some knowledge of Tibetan and
Buddhist religious philosophy and culture, you will get the most out of your
project.
