Volunteering to teach English in Medellin

Hello Joe,

Are you legally able to freelance (and make a little money)? If so, DM me, perhaps you can join Profesores Extranjeros like I did.

Hello Joseph,

I am also a TEFL grad and was going to start volunteering as an English teacher at a very solid Communa 13 charity called PH 13. Unfortunately, I had to have an eye operation for a detached retina which is delaying my start date. I know the charity's diretor is very keen on having an English teacher ASAP. I can put you in contact with her if you are interested..... My friend from New York was volunteering there as an English teacher but he had to return to the States at the end of the summer as he is a high school teacher in New York. Since this time, the charity has not been able to teach English for lack of an English language instructor.

I sat in on a class and was very impressed with the student's dedication to learning despite the kids being from a lower-economic area of Medellin. Anyway, it is probably better to DM me, and I can get you the director's info.

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I would be very interested in getting in contact with her.

For the first month after I arrive I am learning Spanish but for the next couple of months I would like to teach or tutor or help in any volunteer capacity that might help.

I look forward to your response and to touching base with her.

Thanks for this.

Jamcadam,

I will PM you the information.

Hello. My name is Stephanie. I would like very much to know more about moving and working in Medellin 

How best may I contact you?

I obtained my TEFL a few years ago, but have never used it here, why? because I am a Brit, and English English is different to American English, it just confuses the Kids, who for obvious reasons learn the American vocabulary.

@mymagicallife43 You can easily send me a private message here. I live in Barranquilla, BTW.

You can (and dare I say, should) teach ESL anyway, British English and all. It's good for the locals to hear different flavors of the language, just like how we have to contend with various (quite distinct) flavors of Spanish even within the same region of Colombia!
