Volunteer with Tanzanian Ministry of Education & WorldTeach

  Tanzania

Length of Position: 1 year

Description: We are excited to announce our first year in Tanzania!

Working in partnership with the Tanzanian Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT), WorldTeach volunteers will be teaching English, Mathematics, and Science in Secondary Schools and Teachers' Colleges throughout the country.

WorldTeach volunteers work as English, Mathematics and Science teachers in a wide range of Secondary Schools and Teachers' Colleges throughout the country. Volunteers will teach at the O-Level, Form 1 through Form 4. It is possible that some more advanced A-Level courses will be taught as well. Like local teachers, WorldTeach volunteers will teach approximately 20 classes per week for 45 minutes each class.

Volunteers will engage in other secondary projects, such as teaching extra English classes, coaching sports, starting art clubs, or developing the school library or computer room. Volunteers have a prime opportunity to contribute their skills and interests to the broader needs of their school and community.

Placements will generally be in pairs with one other WorldTeach volunteer at your school. Additionally, there may be other WorldTeach volunteers in the town or region, or teachers from other international volunteer organizations nearby.

Volunteers will most likely live in school housing either on the school grounds or close to the school. Volunteers will have their own furnished room, although they might share common rooms with other teachers or staff.
