Support Teacher in a Rural School in Peru

We are looking for enthusiastic people with a passion for education to work at our school project in a rural region in the Andes in southern Peru, about 10 hours by bus from the city of Arequipa.

As a support teacher you will work alongside a local teacher at our partner school, Colegio Honofre Benavides in the town of Tomepampa, Cotahuasi Canyon. This is a state primary and secondary school with approximately 250 students, Tomepampa is in a beautiful location in the spectacular Cotahuasi canyon. However, this is a remote and underprivileged region, which is why volunteer support is really appreciated. We are working alongside the school to help students expand their options and become more active in their own communities. International teachers can also help to promote inter-cultural awareness and understanding.

Volunteer responsibilities include:
- Support in primary classes
- Support in secondary classes (particularly in English classes)
- After school English help
- Getting involved in mini projects as appropriate to the needs of the school and the community

We ask that those applying for the position of support teacher dedicate a minimum of one month. This is a fantastic opportunity to get teaching experience in a completely different cultural setting and to spend some time in a little-visited yet fascinating area of Peru.

Working with the students and staff at Colegio Honofre Benavides is a very rewarding experience.
The school is located in an incredibly beautiful location 10 hours outside of Arequipa Peru.
It is a very peaceful area and there are many hikes and trips to go on when you are not teaching.
The opportunity is a great way to be fully immersed into traditional Peruvian culture.
This a also a great opportunity to improve Spanish fluency.
