Volunteer-Study Program

The perfect combination for those who want to teach English and learn Spanish at the same time.

A unique way to learn and serve at the same time, this program was designed for those interested in both volunteering and studying Spanish.

Do you feel like so many other language students who seem to understand everything in the classroom but the second you come face-to-face with a native speaker suddenly everything gets jumbled up and nothing comes out right?

Don’t worry, that’s normal and completely natural. In order to become fluent in a language one has to be immersed completely in it – and the best way to do that is to put yourself in a situation where you are forced to communicate. That’s why HELP! has carefully designed an immersion program that guarantees you will be speaking Spanish in just six weeks as you participate in the community and culture of Mexico. Our program is designed for Spanish students of all levels (beginners, intermediate and advanced) and is structured around real-life situations and conversations.
Volunteer-students will teach for 3 hours a day and study Spanish for 3 hours.

The following is an example of what the volunteer-study schedule would be.
Daily:

» 9:00 – 11:00 am Spanish language instruction provided by a native instructor.
» 11:00 – 11:15 am Break
» 11:15 – 12:15 pm Spanish language instruction
» 12:15 – 4:00 pm Break, lunch
» 4:00 – 7:00 pm Teaching English classes (other possible teaching schedules would be from 5:00 – 8:00 pm or 6:00 – 9:00 pm)

We hope you will take the time to explore the many beautiful sites and wonders found in Central Mexico and use the language our native Mexican professors will share with you.

Just to highlight exactly what you will get with our Volunteer-Study Program:

» 3 hours of intensive Spanish per day (15 hours per week)
» Semi-private classes (with a 4 student maximum)
» Shared room in HELP’s apartment
» A wonderful chance to serve and improve your teaching skills
