Teaching English in Peru

This project is based in a public elementary schools in Cusco, teaching girls in the mornings and both girls and boys in the afternoons. In each classroom there are between 30 to 40 children and are all children from the local community, so you’ll be able to make a real impact on the surrounding community in Cusco

Working as a teacher abroad in Peru will also help you gain priceless work experience, meet some great friends and like-minded people along the way and most importantly, make a real impact through volunteering.

Sports Teaching in Peru

Our sports teaching program in Cusco is held in the same elementary school. The aim of the program is to empower girls through sport, using physical education as a method for promoting leadership, teamwork and communication, self-confidence and healthy living. Empowering girls in communities is vital to encourage social mobility and development, so you’ll really be able to help the community in a lasting way.

All our teaching volunteer in Peru programs are a 3-4 week minimum commitment. Ideally Spanish is required but if you dont have Spanish skills you can still join and help an after school project

What is involved


Your time volunteering in Peru will consist of teaching English and supporting the teachers in local schools, developing activities and supervising children individually or in groups. You’ll also play a key role in every child’s personal development, developing their language skills and confidence. Your work as a teaching volunteer will be essential in helping children in the community reach their potential, allowing the community to thrive.

The teaching program is for a minimum of 4 weeks and requires intermediate to advanced Spanish skills. Your teaching schedule will be given to you on arrival, but the teaching day is Monday- Friday, with mornings from 8am-1pm and afternoon hours from 1pm-5.45pm. This schedule leaves you with plenty of time to travel and experience the local area at the weekends.

If you do not know Spanish you can join our after school program where you will be teaching English or playing sports in an informal setting from 2pm to 6pm. This requires a time commitment of 3 weeks and suits most non Spanish speakers.

If you opt to teach sports, the sports lessons are held on a sports field approximately 15 minutes’ walk from the school. The sports teaching program is for a minimum of 4 weeks, during which time you’ll work to develop lessons, the teaching curriculum and with children in groups and on an individual level. Each day will be different, so you’ll be able to utilise and develop your sports teaching skills through fun, varied work.
