Teaching English - Kenya

Product Details

We have teaching placements in Mombasa, and teaching can be anything from English to mathematics to sports. Travellers helps teach and guide students from the ages of 2 - 16 and your help is an important part of their development. Travellers have two types of teaching placement:
- Kindergarten and children up to the age of 16 in a formal teaching environment.
- Social care work with street children, in schools and on the streets.

Teaching in Mombasa
Our other teaching placements are based on the Island of Mombasa within the suburbs. Situated on the coast, Mombasa is generally renowned for its laid back culture, but the schools offer a different contrast. They ask for your support to help push the children's education forward, and to help improve teaching techniques for the teachers.

You will teach in schools where the children range from 2½ years of age, up to about 16; and again, volunteers who would like to teach younger children are really appreciated.

Most schools in Mombasa are quite small and so you will instantly feel as though you are part of the family! They generally range from 100 to 300 pupils at one given time. This means that class sizes are also fairly small and very manageable, normally ranging from 20 to 40, although occasionally you may have smaller classes. Some of the schools are boarding schools and some are for orphaned children. One of the schools keeps chickens and goats so that the children can learn the important things in life, one of which is to respect and to take care of others.
