Teaching English in Nepal
Teaching English as a volunteer will give you the
opportunity to teach students who are eager to learn
and improve their abilities in English. The students
will also benefit from cultural exchange and
different teaching techniques. You will be placed in
either a public (government) or private school,
depending on the area you wish to work. Your main
role will be to teach English, however you may have
the opportunity to assist in other school activities
such as sports and extra curricular projects.
Generally as a volunteer you will be
teaching for 2 to 3 hours per day, 6 days a week, to
students aged between 6 and 13 years old. There will
be a permanent English teacher at the school to
assist you with teaching methods, offer advice on
dealing with communication barriers and provide you
with suitable curriculum for the classroom.
As a volunteer English teacher you do
not need to be native in English but you do need to
have good knowledge of the language.
If you are volunteering during school
holidays or exam periods Alliance Nepal will find
alternative activities for you to participate in
such as working in an orphanage.
Teaching English to Buddhist Monks
There are more than 130 000 Tibetans living in exile
in India, Nepal and Bhutan; 20% of which reside in
Nepal. Tibetans continue to face many problems
whilst in exile; education being one of them. A
number of primary education schools known as
‘Tibetan Children’s Villages’ have been established
by the Tibetan community in Nepal. These schools
support religious Tibetan practices and provide
education in Buddhist philosophies alongside other
activities such as English and computer skills.
As
a volunteer you will be teaching English to young
Buddhist Monks and working towards enhancing their
education. Alongside English you can organize games,
painting and other creative activities. During this
placement you will also get the fantastic
opportunity to witness and participate in
traditional Buddhist rituals.

Work
For Orphanage
Every year hundreds of
children become destitute in Nepal’s
crowded cities after leaving their
villages in search of work or from a
loss or change in family situations.
These children are deprived of education
and a number of them end up working as
child laborers in factories, restaurants
or hotels, with others turning to drugs
whilst living on the streets.
It
is thanks to a number of orphanages that some of
these children begin to get the love, attention,
care and education they need. As a volunteer in an
orphanage you will be there to continue providing
this by assisting the children in learning English
and other subjects such as math and science and
helping the children with their homework. You can
also organize tours, games, painting, singing and
dancing and other activities to enhance the
enjoyment and development of the children living in
the orphanages.
Volunteering in an orphanage will be an experience
that you will never forget and one that will open
your eyes to just some of the problems facing
children in Nepal.
