Teach at a Preschool in Mutare Zimbabwe

Location: Mutare, Zimbabwe

Teach in a preschool that is quite small and very basic, but makes you feel part of the family immediately! The schools have approximately 57 boys and 68 girls between the ages of 3 and 9 and the schools themselves are quite small and very basic.
You'll assist the local teachers to start classes, but, depending on your ability, you may be given complete control of a particular class or group. You can teach English or any other subjects, as well as assisting with sports during games periods.
You will receive a lot of help and support from the local teachers and staff at the preschools to help you prepare for your lessons and settle you into your role.
Most of the children are very shy to speak English and it’s in this area that the help of our volunteers is needed – to give the children to confidence to speak the language. They will ask for your support to help push the children’s’ education forward, and to help improve teaching techniques for the existing teachers, where possible.
If you enjoy sports, that, too, is a very popular subject for the children and the schools would love for you to help out with the game periods.
The schools also sometimes need help with administration (e.g. marking books). As this is part of a Teachers role, you may also be asked to help with this at some point.
