Sponsored TEFL Certification and Teaching Experience across Europe

Very easy volunteer position. I've done many English camps, and this was by far the easiest. A schedule and all materials are provided. Each session is only 50 minutes, so there's a 10 min break between activities. There is a nice long break after lunch, so you can even take a nap! Start time is 10 am, so you can sleep in or go for a morning run, which is what I did. The venue was a gorgeous 1600's estate with a rich history. It was located in the Polish countryside. It was a lovely, little quiet town. Running around the town in the mornings was like something out of a movie. I also made great, lifelong friends. Don't think about it twice. Go volunteer for Angloville now. It's so worth the investment of your plane ticket. I'm completely happy with Angloville.

I volunteered at Angloville around 8 times. The experience of being a conversation partner was great - great people, great conversations, good fun all round.

The days are long but there is usually time (in the summer) to go cycling, running or for a walk during the breaks and in the mornings.

My problem with the programmes was the accommodation. More specifically, the sharing of rooms. I find it very strange that Angloville cannot stump up the extra money to give their volunteers single accommodation. I did have a single room on my first two or three courses but then they said it was no longer available. I am sure this puts off many people from attending, especially those aged 30+. Sharing with a stranger is just something I (and others) don't want to do!

I always love travelling to Europe. Doing Angloville program for the first time is a different kind of experience for me. So far this is the best trip Europe trip that I ever had. My Angloville experience is very memorable. It is a different kind of experienced, combining teaching, immersion and fun in one setting. I get to appreciate Europe, the people and the culture more through this program. I gained new friends not just from the country were I was teaching but from different countries all over the world (the native speakers). It is the best way to immerse yourself with the locals. The concept of Angloville is also amazing because it is not the conventional way of teaching English. The places (hotel) were we stayed are all beautiful, and the food was really good. I would love to do another program with Angloville.

Angloville is a life-changer. In a time when opportunities for young people - and everyone else - are disappearing rapidly, Angloville and their partner PremierTEFL open up a pathway to teaching English as a foreign language that is incredibly fun, inexpensive, and easy enough, but also comprehensive and rewarding in experience. Why do one of those online-only or weekend-only courses for hundreds when Angloville's "AngloTEFL" scholarship lets you do it for a fourth of that cost and take part in their volunteering weeks around eastern Europe? I went all around Poland, a country from which we in the west don't expect much for whatever reason, and had the time of my life! The cities, the hotels, the food, the method, and above all the people -- from the time I stepped into Angloville, I stopped questioning my decision to leave home again and try teaching English. There's simply no better or more fun way to go about it out there. Not only do you get the certification, you get the experience, and you get to know people in a way you wouldn't just staying at hostels or working at a traditional language schools. The best feeling is having participants invite you to their homes after a program because you know they feel as enriched by it as you do; or running into the same people at programs, or coordinating where you'll be staying afterward because they're your new friends. What else can I say? It's amazing. Do it now. :)
