Spanish Tutors

As part of our volunteer program, we work with various community teachers to train our volunteers in Spanish. Teachers work very flexible hours and are used to coodinating classes with volunteer activities.  Also, classes are scheduled and paid for by the hour.  Currently private classes are Q25 o $3 per hour.  The majority of volunteers take advantage of the lessons during their stay, and some volunteers spend their first weeks focusing on Spanish taking 4 hours a day.  Short term travellers who are interested in participating in our project and also want to take lessons are more than welcome.

 

For only $120 U.S. per week  for home stay and meals and only $3 per hour for private Spanish lessons, students receive:

  • Spanish lessons from highly qualified local teachers.

  • Home stay with local family for 7 days which includes 3 meals per day.

  • Daily volunteer opportunities in our ecological park.

  • Activities such as movie night, working in our community library, and working in local schools.

  • Airport or bus station pick up,  and transport to San Andres.

To get enrolled in our Spanish school, give us a call at 5711-0040  once in Santa Elena or Flores. Or just head to San Andres and give us a call or visit the library or Parque Ecologico Nueva Juventud, one mile north of San Andres.  Once in San Andres, we’ll get you settled in with your family and introduce you to your teacher. Please bring cash (Quetzals or American dollars) or traveler’s checks before heading to San Andres as our policy is to pay the families and teachers directly.

Costs for homestay only is $120 per week.

Cost per hour of class is $3 per hour.

 Classes are conducted daily, and students can start any day of the week.
