Gotoco trip to Austria/Italy

Over the summer, I spent 4 weeks in Austria teaching English at an English summer camp. We worked 5 days a week from 9-5. It was an incredibly enriching experience from teaching the children English, playing games with them, immersing ourselves in local culture, and getting to explore Austria. It was demanding work-wise but the friends you make help make the experience more enjoyable. You do get thrown into the deep end with some limited training before running the camp with your team of volunteer tutors and volunteer director.

If you are looking to gain experience in schools or teaching English, it is a great experience and you have the added advantage of getting to have a TESOL qualification too. It also allows you to visit a new country and experience local culture through living with host families.
