Tanzania: Teaching Placements.
We offer teaching placements in three very different schools in which the placements will receive unique teaching experiences.
School placement options:
Urban English Medium School
Rural Maasai Primary School
Special School for Children with disabilities
Urban English medium School
The English Medium School is situated in Arusha City center and is well know for its high level of teaching quality and its well spoken English students. The school has over 600 students from the ages 4 to 13 years. The school is located about 5 minute’s bus journey from our volunteer house.
Placements will primarily be teaching English classes to all ages, but also have the option of teaching History, Geography, Science and Math. If a placement has previous qualifications or interests in a specific subject area then this is welcomed.
The students follow an English Curriculum in which some subjects are translated into Swahili. Therefore for many of the students the level of English knowledge is high.
When having to use Swahili a translator will be present to assist you.
You will also be responsible for taking sports lessons which occur on ever Friday Afternoon.
Rural Maasai Primary School
Volunteers and Interns that wish to be placed in a rural Tanzanian school will have a truly unique teaching experience. The school is situated in a Maasai village. The school is very basic and the student’s level of academic knowledge and understanding is low. The school is basic and lacking academic and sports equipment and many facilities.
This school is in much need of qualified teachers or willing volunteers to help improve the academic level of the Students and also to assist the teachings in their work by sharing your knowledge and experience of teaching.
For this placement we also please for organizations, schools or groups to come out and help with the school facility improvements. The building facilities are less than basic and often the food for the students’ lunch is minimal and the same each day. This results in poor nutrition and children not attending school.
This is a great placement to really use your qualities and help a school and even more a community.

Accommodation: Room/ Food/ Supervision.
Volunteers have the choice of staying at our volunteer Accommodation in Arusha Town or at our local Tanzanian host families, commonly know as “home stay”. Our volunteer house is located close to the town centre so has easy access to transport routes, shops, bars and restaurants. The House has single or shared living facilities and western style bathroom facilities with hot water. It also provides a sitting and dinning area with T.V. and D.V.D. Our host families are active community members who are not only mature but are trained and experienced with international volunteers. You will get a single room (or share with another volunteer) in a home stay. The accommodation will be clean and simply furnished. Local host will provide three local meals a day.
