Teaching Assistant in Island Creches and Schools
Highlights
- Teach English, French or Arabic to eager school children on the east African island paradise of Zanzibar. The kids are so cute and eager to learn. They love volunteers and the attention they give.
- If the Sciences, Mathematics and Geography are more of interest to you than languages, we can definitely use your assistance in these areas in the class to share your knowledge, enthusiasm and time.
- As the schools finish at 2pm, you have afternoons to go swim at white sandy beaches nearby, explore the historic town of Stone Town or explore other parts of this very interesting spice island.
- Zanzibar has so much to offer! Culture, history, beaches, incredible scenic nature and the Zanzibarians are simply lovely and will make your stay truly memorable and make you feel so at home.
- So much fun for the weekends! Enjoy the night food market at Forodhani Gardens, snorkel at Mnemba Atoll, visit a turtle sanctuary or take a boat to Prison Island to see the giant tortoises.
