Teaching English in Angers with Andégo

Overall I am so grateful I took the leap and decided to do this program. It helped me grow and learn in so many ways and I know it is just the beginning. The social scene in Angers was lovely, and there were plenty of things to explore. The fact that it was a university town was a huge plus too as there were many other students and people my age! It was a bit more difficult starting out given my position was at an elementary school, but my host family was helpful in getting me connected, and the fact that we had a group of assistants there offered a built in community as well. I am very grateful for all of the ways I grew in my year abroad. I gained a confidence in myself learning a new language and trying new things. I feel way better equipped now that I am in college than I would have it I went straight into it after high school. Especially with Covid it was exactly what I needed to grow and regroup. Getting to do something like this so young is not easy but is so so worth it. I encourage anyone with a heart for exploration and community to see if this program is right for you.
