Introduction 

Vientiane is the capital and largest city of Laos, on the banks of the Mekong River near the border with Thailand.  Vientiane is known for its laidback atmosphere and it's true that life moves slowly here, attracting those who enjoy a peaceful, relaxed vibe.

This teaching program may takes place at a variety of schools, although our primary teaching location is situated in a local village primary school. Here, you will teach English to the approximately 100 children between the ages of 4-12 years.

Even though we do aim to follow a curriculum, we also focus on informal teaching - the classes can vary widely in content - from playing games, sports and music to handicraft making, all whilst using the English language. This means you can get creative and teach them in the way you find best. These classes are meant to improve the English language skills of the children and develop their interests and ambitions in different fields.

Aims & Objectives

  • Improve the children’s education through the learning of English
  • Gain teaching experience, an invaluable life skill
  • Assist the local school staff with extra hands

The accommodation is tucked away in the countryside of Laos, allowing you to get a true taste of Laotian sceneries. It is surrounded by rice fields and lakes and has a modern Lao restaurant at the  property entrance. Rooms are single gender with up to 6 participants per room.
