“the other teachers were so sweet.”

General Impression

Overall Rating:    7 / 10

The Volunteering itself was really nice, the work was intense but so interesting and the other teachers were so sweet.

Country

Costa Rica is an amazing country, it's beautiful, the people are very nice and there is so much to do and to see.

Project & Staff

The project itself was not completely what I expected. In my first week I was the only one in the program, which was kind of lonely at first and the school I worked in was a private school instead of a public school, which was still amazing work to do, but less impactful than I expected it to be, because in this school there were already very good English teachers. [Thanks Romy! It is difficult for us to arrange placements at public schools. The school we work with provides education to poor families, as well as those who can pay.]
