Teaching Volunteer Project in Uganda

Teaching English, mathematics and other subjects in Uganda will inevitably increase employment opportunities, reduce illiteracy and ultimately assist local people to become economically independent. Teaching volunteers will work alongside local teachers to improve participatory teaching methods, classroom management, assessments and gender equality in the classroom. Volunteers will also help develop nursery and primary education projects focusing on early-childhood development, literacy and health education.

As a teaching volunteer, you may teach Reading, conversational English, mathematics, geography, science, social studies or supervise homework and provide individualized attention to students falling behind in class. Ugandan students of all ages and backgrounds appreciate the opportunity to interact with fluent English speakers. You do not have to be a qualified or experienced teacher to join the project, and you are sure to receive a warm welcome from the local schools.
