Travel for less. Tip the advantage to you by enhancing your resume through volunteering with the Conversation Corps and become a
Conversation Partner.
Position: "Language Tutor." References: Global. It just doesn't get any better than that.
What is the difference between Conversation Corps and Conversation Partner? Join the Conversation Corps and live with a host family and speak conversational English with them up to 15 hours each week in exchange for free room and board.
Volunteer to be a Conversation Partner and you will be speaking conversational English to the local police department, hotel staff, local business professionals, teachers. You do not need to be a teacher or to have teaching experience to be a Conversation Partner. You just need to meet with the group each day (up to 15 hours each week) and converse in English with them. It's fun and rewarding.
You may live with a host family (free private room and 3 healthy home cooked meals each day) or you may live in a dorm in a private room or even a hotel (free private room and free meals each day).
Put in a few hours each day literally talking. The rest of your time is spent
traveling and experiencing the culture of your host country in depth. "Meet" the group you will tutor in advance through email and phone calls. Each business or organization is interviewed and carefully screened by in-country staff.
Do you want to learn a new language or brush up on your current language skills? We can easily arrange
optional language classes for you. It's up to you.
