Volunteer Teaching Abroad

Where to Go

You can find placements throughout the world helping in schools, community/educational centres, refugee centres and outreach initiatives. Where you go really comes down to your personal preference, the company you apply with and time of year you apply.

Types of Roles

Teachers are needed for a variety of roles including languages, maths, science, sports, support roles and more. Usually you will work during the week and have evenings and weekends free to explore your destination. Placements can be a challenge and a lot of fun where you will help others to develop skills.
