Good experience

Good experience. Met so many great people on my journey. I took part in a Wrocraw, Poland and Prague, Czechia program and it was loads of fun. Students were awesome and made great progress during their time on the camp. I was lucky to have amazing coordinators and the venues and food were good. I loved some of the games I learnt on this trip and the dance moves I learnt and will take that away with me. I hope to keep on toucj with people in the future.

#Angloville becomes a family!

Being a mentor in Angloville was one of the best experiences I've had in the past years. I work as an engineer in Hungary and I decided to go for this volunteering because I do like to work with kids and I wanted to have this different experience for myself, teaching English, helping others to master a new language for the matter of communication, and of course being away from the numbers and calculations for a bit.
What I wasn't expecting, to be honest, is having such an amazing time, where learning English became just a conclusion from connecting and meeting incredible people from all around the world. I am now part of the #Angloville family!

Without a doubt, I would recommend this program to others.

Volunteering was a great experience for me. I enjoyed all different activities they offered and meeting amazing people. The schedule was consistent/clear and ran smoothly.
The program was all about conversing and you will not be required to offer traditional teaching. Your conversation partners will change each hour. You must be ready to talk for 12 hours a day, but don’t worry as each day is fun-packed !
I have also become TEFL qualified with Angloville after completing 120 hours of teaching + the online course.

What would you improve about this program?
Register more volunteers than participants in order to ensure 1:1 ratio.

Fun!

The program was a lot of fun. The kids were the best part-- really excited to learn English and really enjoyable. The work is kind of hard, you're essentially speaking all day, but it's rewarding as the students definitely are appreciative. Through talking with the kids, I got to learn quite a bit about Polish culture/history. Moreover, you get to work with and meet people from all over the world and learn about their cultures, too.

My experience at Angloville

I had a great time volunteering at Angloville and met many great people from all around the world. The program is very hard and you speak a lot but In the end it is very rewarding! Lots of the kids were eager and excited to learn English which made it very fun. It was a fun way to combine traveling and volunteering at the same time. The schedule was very consistent and clear so everything ran very smoothly. Overall it was a very fun experience and if I ever have the opportunity again I would like to go back and do it again!

Great experience

Volunteering was a great experience for me. I enjoyed all of the different activities they offered and meeting amazing people. I spent three weeks with angloville. I did two junior programs and one adult program. They are quite different but they are both amazing. All of the venues are great and unique. They are all in an area of Poland i wouldn't of seen if it wasn't for Angloville. I am glad I found this program and I will probably come back in the future.

Four Programmes As A Volunteer

I have done four programmes as a native speaker, firstly in Czechia, and Hungary, and then two programmes in Poland. It has always been a wonderful and rewarding experience in terms of the English teaching, but also because of the characters I have met, and the memories that we've created. I have also recently become TEFL qualified with Angloville after completing 120 hours of teaching plus the online course. I will definitely continue to volunteer for Angloville in the future.

Interesting cross-cultural experience

This was an interesting cross-cultural experience. I got to interact with participants from the Czech Republic and Poland, and from volunteers from around the world. There should be better vetting of volunteer English ability. There should also be better vetting of the accommodations. I heard many compliments from both participants and volunteers from both venues (in two different countries). The strength of the program was a credit to the organizers.

What would you improve about this program?
Be upfront and honest about the program signed up for. I signed up for the adult program but was shifted to family without notification.

Good Opportunity for Those Involved

I volunteered for two weeks in Warsaw, Poland and was surprised to meet some truly incredible people throughout each program. It is a great introduction to teaching English for those who see this as a piece of their future. It is also a great opportunity for those who maybe don’t see a future in teaching because it is a somewhat easy and enjoyable experience as you meet people from different cultures!

What would you improve about this program?
More information on TEFL before finishing the registration process would have been nice because I would’ve added an additional week to my volunteering and done that from the beginning. Also, having more information on what to expect from each venue would have been nice to know ahead of time.

Living in a Castle

Fantastic experience all in all! I truly enjoyed getting to know all of the participants, and I am confident all of the learners bettered their language. The venue was beautiful, and the coordinators were fantastic. Without a doubt, I would recommend this program to others. I hope to do another program in the future with my wife. Although I got tired from all of the talking, I am so happy I did this program.
