Volunteer to be a Conversation Partner and you will be speaking conversational English to school students, hotel staff, local business professionals, teachers. You do not need to be a teacher or to have teaching experience to be a Conversation Partner. You just need to meet with the group each day (up to 15 hours each week) and converse in English with them. It's fun and rewarding.

You may live with a host family (free private room and 3 healthy home cooked meals each day) or you may live in a dorm in a private room or even a hotel (free private room and free meals each day).

Put in a few hours each day literally talking. The rest of your time is spent travelling and experiencing the culture of your host country in depth. "Meet" the group you will tutor in advance through email and phone calls. Each business, organisation and host family is interviewed and carefully screened by in-country staff.

Do you want to learn a new language or brush up on your current language skills? We can easily arrange optional language classes for you. It's up to you.

Conversation Partner volunteers must be native English speakers.  They need to have earned a secondary school (high school) certificate or diploma and be in good health.

This programme is offered in conjunction with our partners in America – 'GeoVisions'.
