Description: Teaching English as a foreign language to students who are either at the university level or older. This volunteer teaching opportunity is a great way to teach ESL abroad without a certificate. You teach in a standard classroom atmosphere from a curriculum with books provided by the LAMB (Language and Mind Building) Center.
Field Notes: This was a great teaching and learning experience at a well-organized facility. Students are all Coptic Christians (a sometimes marginalized minority in Egypt) but class is a non-religious atmosphere. All your materials are provided and you simply follow a curriculum supplementing it with any activities or different teaching methods you like. I taught one 1.5 hour class a week, and spent about 2 hours outside of class correcting homework and preparing my lesson plans. You can teach as few or as many classes as you like. The center is very easily accessible on the metro from AUC.
