The Learning Center is full of wonderful stories to share and there's no better way to do this than through short videos. If you're used to making short-form documentary style content, that would be fantastic!
Opportunities with
The Oaxaca Learning Center
Regular tutoring and mentoring at the Center is provided by paid Mexican staff, but we value additional help in areas of interest beyond our main curriculum. In particular, we are looking for these roles outlined below.
Students attend The Learning Center while also attending school and many also have to work to support their families so their time is frequently very limited. During term time Friday evenings and weekends are the only times available. For any direct work with the students, experience in teaching and a good command of Spanish are definitely helpful.
TUTOR:
English
Native English speakers able to offer supplementary support to our main English curriculum. This could be through themed workshops or one to one tutoring.
Minimum of 3 months commitment.
INTERCAMBIO: Language and Cultural Exchange
Maybe you'd like a language and cultural exchange? Get to know a student with insights into her/his life & culture and share yours too. In addition, improve your Spanish while helping improve the student's English. It is a wonderful experience!
