I had an amazing 3 weeks teaching English in Poland this past summer with Angloville. I am grateful to have had the chance to meet so many amazing students & fellow volunteers while earning my TEFL certification through the AngloTEFL scholarship. I loved getting to see Poland through the lens of 3 different cities - Poznan, Katowice, and Wroclaw - along with the Polish countryside at the beautiful retreat centers where camps were held. Speaking with the Polish students every day was by far by favorite part of the Angloville experience - I'm still in contact with some of the friends I made along the way, and I loved experiencing Polish culture along with traveling inexpensively to other Central European countries after my Angloville teaching. Overall, great experience!

I did a programme in a remote part of Eastern Poland. The actual venue had a few issues but the pupils made it all worth while. A lovely, willing bunch of people who learned from us, and from whom we learned. It is my any measure a very full on and intense programme but so long as you keep your energy up and your enthusiasm higher you'll be fine.

Your fellow volunteers are likely to be an eclectic bunch much worth listening too. They are likely to come from all over the world, be of all ages and carry a wide range of experiences. Our ages ranged from about 20 to 59 which was a real help in managing the students.

All in all, a good experience. if only in the nine days I was there they'd changed the towels once or given us a refill of toilet paper. But these are minor things.

I have volunteered at 5 Anglovilles so far, and somehow they keep getting better and better! Each session I have met friends from all over the world that I still keep in touch with and have met up/volunteered with again. It's difficult to say if I prefer the junior or adult programs - both definitely have their perks. The daily structure of Angloville is set out nicely and it's fun to get to know all the participants. The material Angloville provides keeps the conversations new and interesting. I also like the mentor/mentee aspect of the program and I look forward to the presentations every session. It's always amazing to see the participants' English confidence be so drastically higher at the end of the week. Even though we're helping them with English fluency, I feel like I learn more from the participants about their culture and country. SO looking forward to my next program!

Angloville offers a great programme for learners of English, and it's really good experience of working with a wide range of people of different ages.
You will be speaking almost the whole day, and engaging in different group activities. The participants are almost universally extremely enthusiastic and very willing to talk and join in with everything in order to improve their English. The juniors in particular are surprisingly invested in speaking sessions, and generally have an impressively high level.

I was a native speaker at Angloville for this past summer. I did 3 weeks and I wouldn't that exchange the experience for anything. You go into this program thinking you are going to help others but it is so much more because you end up learning so much from the kids as well. I made so many bonds with so many children and with the other native speakers. A week may not be a long time but it is more than enough time to make an impact on someone's life or even to be impacted!
I absolutely recommend Angloville to anyone!

The three weeks I did of Angloville were intense, but worth it. It pushes you outside your social comfort zone, you make a lot of amazing friends - participants and mentors alike. I would love to do more programs in the future and would recommend it to anyone travelling and looking for something different.
Even when things might not have always gone to plan or someone was struggling with the mundane, like how to do laundry or find your way around the venue, the group you're with are always there struggling with you or trying to find solutions.
You are never really alone at Angloville, which can be a little tiring at times, but my mindset was always that I wanted to spend as much time as possible with these amazing people that I'll only be able to get to know and hang out with for one week. So the experience makes you very socially spent, but in a good way. You're always having fun, and maybe discussing really interesting topics, especially when you connect with people sharing similar interests with you or letting them tell you about what's different in other countries compared to yours, etc.

Was really fun, would recommend to people wanting a cheap trip to Europe and to learn more about teaching experiences. Some of the hotels are better than others but all are very accommodating especially with dietary requirements. Good idea to bring some of your own resources/ games although there are some provided. The coordinators were very helpful when you were unsure of anything and were always available to offer support.

I definitely recommend Angloville. They helped and assisted by giving me the opportunity to teach and mentor their students (adult participants) in Hungary, Czechia and Poland for 3 months, May-Aug 2018. I had such a great experience with their staff and programs. I loved all of them and couldn’t pick just one. I would do more in a heartbeat and plan too.

Also, great news...I’ve just been TEFL Certified with TEFLPremier. With the help of Angloville and special thanks to all their participants that I’ve met, taught and mentored for 3 months, this was because of them. The last three months with Angloville sparked the passion of teaching in me!
