Awesome Program

I volunteered with T&L for 6 months in 2017/18. I had taught a little before in the states but this was my first real 'english teaching' experience. The staff were really helpful in settling me in to the program and adapting to life in Costa Rica.
I stayed with a host family so I got to talk a lot in Spanish, but I already spoke quite good Spanish before I left.
The classes are fun and the kids are really cool and love to learn. It can be busy and hectic att imes in the classroom but if you enjoy working with kids it is a really rewarding program and something I will always remember. It took me a few weeks to get to know all the kids and understand how everything worked, it was a little overwhelming to begin with but after that going to class everyday was the highlight of my day. I left the experience with a passion for teaching and I hope to continue and hopefully become a teacher back home.
The experience of living in Costa Rica and making a difference to the education of children is a unique opprtunity for anyone.

A+ from me!
