Volunteers help shape young lives in the Philippines by sharing their English skills and teaching talents. They teach English and many other subjects to elementary school children from 5-12 years of age. Native or fluent English speakers with or without formal teaching experience can contribute greatly to a child's educational development. Volunteers assist local teachers in the instruction of classes, which typically range in size from 20 to 30 pupils.
