Program Overview

Program Description:

Volunteer Teachers are unpaid workers getting involved in education processes. Typical duties listed on a Volunteer Teacher resume sample are holding lessons, preparing lesson plans, assigning tasks to students, administering tests, grading student work and participating in continuing education.

Based on our selection of example resumes for the job, essential skills include leadership, empathy, resilience and communication. Successful candidates come from various educational backgrounds and usually hold a Bachelor’s Degree. Education training and experience represent an advantage.

Volunteer teaching is perhaps the most popular and varied of all volunteer projects abroad. From helping with ESL conversation classes and running English courses to teaching computer skills and other adult education courses, volunteer teaching abroad is far broader than just teaching English to students.

So whether you are a fresh TEFL graduate, a mid-career professional with a skill in demand, or a retiree with years of teaching experience, finding a volunteer teaching program abroad could be just the way to interact and experience a new culture while helping to improve education.
