Teach English and Study German

I spent 4 weeks at the Excellence Center teaching English and studying German. I'm currently on a gap year and graduated with my Bachelor's in Psychology last December. I had gotten a TEFL certificate a while ago and wanted to put it to use, and I felt like this program was a good opportunity to practice teaching in a comfortable and flexible environment, and I was right. Rafat was incredibly welcoming and the environment was very relaxed. Even in the off-season, there were several volunteers at the center who all came from a range of backgrounds and ages. I took German lessons with Muaz which were always engaging and entertaining. You are responsible for your lessons and schedule, so I would come into this program with a self-motivated and open-minded mindset. Beyond just language learning, you will find so much cultural exchange here as well. During my time here, the center moved to a new beautiful location which is a perfect representation of the continued growth and improvement of the program. All the staff, volunteers, and students are like a small family and you can tell that this experience leaves an impression on everyone involved.
