Teaching English in Antigua, Guatemala

I loved my program placement! The kids I was teaching were so sweet and it’s exactly the kind of experience I wanted for my career (I want to be an ESL teacher). The people at Maximo and at my home stay were really kind and I always had something to do in Antigua after my placement ended for the day. In addition, the excursions were really fun. The only negative thing I would say is that it would be helpful to have more information up front, such as a list of the schools I could be volunteering at and more details about what kind of work I’ll be doing. It was all fine, but I would have preferred to know more in advance. Overall, though, my experience was fantastic!
