Rewarding teaching projects with disadvantaged children in Cape Town, immerse yourself into a new culture whilst giving something back. Our Cape Town teaching placement is located in one of the Southern Suburbs called Observatory and is conveniently positioned only a 10 minute walk from your accommodation. Cape Town has everything to offer with its stunning beaches, great surf, penguins, great nightlife and of course Table Mountain!
The average class size is between 28 and 40 and sometimes classes will be split into smaller groups when you are assisting. You may be needed to take small groups of children or individuals out of the class and work with them privately, helping with reading lessons in the library.
Classes tend to last between 30 - 60 minutes. Standards are generally very high and the enthusiasm of the students and colleagues more than makes up for any hardships they may experience.
Observatory Junior mainly caters for the poorer African children that come from the township areas of Cape Town. These are the neediest and make up 98% of the school's children. You can also coach sports as well as English teaching and language enrichment, music, art or any other subject that you have particular knowledge in.
The school is multi-cultured and multi-racial and mainly has children at the school between 5 - 13 years of age. English is not the children's mother tongue, but their general standard of language is about Fair to Good.

User Comments:
“I learnt a lot about myself whilst in Africa and have certainly grown up a lot! I have made some great friends. There were a mix of ages and types of people, but I think that’s what makes the placement so fantastic. I would recommend this placement to somebody who has passion and is willing to go for it! You get out what you put in to the placement. If you go in with enthusiasm it will just encourage your students even more!”
