This was an enriching experience that went well beyond teaching English. The students were mostly pretty well spoken so the conversations went much deeper than surface level. Angloville goes far from your more classic lecture classroom type of program. Most of the time is spent in causal one on one speaking sessions or playing game/other group activities. We also got the opportunity to explore different parts of Dublin and had field trips outside the city that were interesting for students and mentors alike. Real connections were made between students and native speakers and life long friendships created between native speakers from all around the world. Definitely a very interesting experience that I would recommend to anyone and would definitely do again.

I am so glad I decided to do the angloville programme. I got to spend time with so many amazing people; from the children, the volunteers and the coordinators. I had an incredible time and it was such a learning experience. I did 3 weeks volunteering with a week break in between and also completed a TEFL course alongside. The programme can be quite intense so I would recommend having a week break to relax. The volunteer experience and the TEFL qualification has opened many doors for me and given me many more opportunities. I also loved the various locations that the programmes were held at. Mostly were in the countryside l which meant I got to visit places in Poland that I wouldn't have visited otherwise. Overall, I had a really cool experience and learned a lot about teaching, the world and myself.

Angloville is a great way to meet people from all over the world whilst staying in some amazing hotel locations throughout Europe. I spent 4 weeks with Angloville this summer and definitely do not regret it, as well as gaining valuable teaching experience I was also able to get my TEFL qualification. travel is not provided to the city you are picked up, but travel and food during the program is covered which means it's a great way to travel on a budget and a great way to see parts of a country that you wouldn't normally get to see. The work is extremely tiring as you are speaking and interacting most of the day , however most program coordinators are sympathetic to this and are good at taking care of you. Angloville is always striving to improve itself as a company which is refreshing to see.

I completed a three week, back-to-back programme spanning Hotel Astra (about an hour outside of Prague), Lipowy Most (near the border of Belarus, 4 hours from Warsaw) and Hotel Chojnik (in the Polish mountains, about two hours from Wrocław). Both Astra and Chojnik offered excellent service and food, though the staff at Lipowy were a little less keen on the Angloville participants and mentors across the week we were there for. Overall, Angloville itself was well-run and fun - all the participants seemed to enjoy themselves, engaging well with each other and the mentors. The activities were fun and well-structured, though it would have been nice to have the same structure for individual speaking sessions. It would also have been nice to have been able to go on more day trips and outings, as there is only one field

As an enthusiastic traveller who wishes to meet a pool of very driven and intelligent citizens of the host country, then I definitely recommend Angloville. Excellently run and absolutely engaging by meeting an array of incredibly interesting students ("participants"). Just hone your conversation skills to be best prepared for that is your task for several hours each day. Good luck!

My experience with the Polish Participants in my 4 different programs this summer was 100% positive. Wonderful country and soulful people! With my fellow Native Speakers, about 90% positive. Some judgemental folks showed up, others not nearly as qualified as they should be. My Co-ordinators were all sincere (both Native Speaker and Polish) and by and large did an excellent job. The pre-printed sheets of "suggested" dialogue were not the best, and often contained grammatical and spelling errors. As for the corporate people running this, they should be ashamed of themselves for what the charge the Polish Participants, given how little they pay the Co-ordinators, and that the hardest working folks (people like me) are volunteers--a fact Corporate tries to hide from the Polish Participants (shameful). They are raking in money exploiting others, and provide precious little in physical support (markers, papers, pads, etc.) to help the program run. What makes it work are the BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE that are brought together who truly CARE about what they are doing. I challenge any of the corporate folks in Poland to meet with me before next year's programs to improve, as I will definitely volunteer again.

Angloville was an experience that I am glad I did, it was something I will never forget and seeing progression in the participants was great.

This experience was amazing and allowed to do thing which I had never done before. Eg led a dance class , presenting in Hungarian , travelling on my own etc. Also it allowed to get valuable experience which is will need to achieve my dream job. The activities were very enjoyable and fun with a wide variety of games etc. The co-ordinaries were very friendly and organised while be very approachable. The other volunteers at time were very professional and were great teachers that the students loved. The facilities in my first two camps were excellent where we had a pool , squash courts etc whereas the second camp was a bit limitless but I was informed that this will change in the near future. The second venue was very unique and eco-friendly which was great to see.
