TEFL Teacher in Kenya

We have a small primary school in rural Kenya.  We educate orphans and children from disadvantaged backgrounds and assist their families out of poverty with small income generating projects.

We are looking specifically for a TEFL Teacher as our pupils, some of whom have been learning English for 2 years, are still unable to put a sentence together. In addition you will be working with the class teacher guiding her on best practice teaching.  When you leave we want our teachers to be using the methods you use in their class so it is important to form a good bond and be sensitive to the abilities of our teachers. 

We have five classes ranging from Baby class through to Class 2.  Our youngest pupil is 3 and our oldest 14.  The majority of our oldest Class 2 are aged 9 or 10. 

The position will be purely on a voluntary basis as we are a charity registered in the UK.  We will provide accommodation and food.  Ideally you would stay for a whole term so that you can form a good bond with the teachers as well as the pupils but should you want to stay longer we are happy to accommodate you.  Our next term starts 3 May 2016 and the one following that on 30 August. 

The school is situated 6kms from Murang'a town in the Central Highlands.  It is a rural area on the outskirts of a village called Kambirwa.  Murang'a town is a busy town and has a marketplace, shops, two supermarkets, hotels, one very good hotel with pool, internet cafes, restaurants etc.  Mount Kenya and the Aberdares National Park are not so far away.

There are no security issues and it is very safe living here.  The tribe is mainly Kikuyus and they are friendly and appreciate what we are doing for their community.  We have their full support.  This is an opportunity to see the 'real' Kenya living with the local people. 

Please visit us on Facebook 'Roko 20 Academy' for further information on what we do. 

We look forward to hearing from you. 

Thank you.
