For all who are looking for a volnteer teaching project abroad, volnteermatchghana can set you on the right track. Both inexperienced and experienced volunteers can teach vocabulary, assist with pronunciation, help with the calculation of arithmetical figures and support students as they practice speaking English or Mathematics and improve on their Mathematics and Science skills.These students, of all ages and backgrounds, appreciate the opportunity to interact with fluent speakers and the extra assistance is welcomed by local teachers. If you are fluent in English or Mathematics you can provide a real contribution to the community and have great fun in the process. Placements are in primary or secondary schools and special schools. All our placements have one thing in common - a genuine need for conversational English or Mathematics practice. Usually you work in timetabled conversational English or Mathematics lessons. Sometimes (usually at a primary school) you are given your own class. Depending on the town for your placement, you can find yourself teaching a group of five-year-olds or a class of adults. If, like many volunteers, you feel a little unsure about taking an English or Mathematics class of any age, we give you a great deal of help. Once you are on your placement you have the full support of your team. Most of our schools welcome volunteers who want to get involved in other aspects of school life, or run extra-curricular activities and after-school clubs such as: Sports Drama Music What to bring Teaching materials such as picture books, instruments, art works, books, pens, notebooks, basic medical supplies, clothes, blankets, hygienic items, games etc. are welcomed. For large sum donations, please contact the Volunteermatchghana staff.
