    Experience the joy of supporting local teachers and students in one of the world's most captivating locations! Zanzibar extends beyond its renowned spices and beaches, boasting a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions. The young individuals in this archipelago stand to gain valuable insights from you, and they, in turn, have much to share!

    We maintain strong connections with numerous primary and secondary schools across Zanzibar, primarily situated beyond the city boundaries. These schools seek assistance across various subjects, including English, Math, and Science.

    As a teaching assistant, your role involves collaborating with local teachers, incorporating educational games, singing, and fostering engagement through activities like arts and crafts, sports, drawing, coloring, and writing.

    Tailored for children aged 5 to 14 (grades K-7), our program enhances learning effectiveness. School hours are from 0800 to 1200 in the morning, and flexibility for additional working hours can be discussed with the local team upon your arrival in Zanzibar.

    Participants are expected to interact with students for a minimum of four hours or more daily, with breaks between sessions and occasional involvement in after-school activities. Effective lesson planning for the following day is also encouraged.

    Feel free to bring along games, colored pencils, erasers, English language books, clothing, and toys for donation – these contributions are highly appreciated! Additionally, consider bringing pictures or small items representing your home country, turning them into educational tools to broaden the children's understanding of the world.

    Evening Teaching Program

    An evening teaching session will take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at a Community Center close to the accommodation. This program runs from 7 PM to 9 PM where you will be teaching students of different ages from 4 - 20 years old. You will be divided into groups where you will teach lessons prepared by you along with the local team.
