TUTOR STUDENTS WHO WILL BE VISITING THE US IN CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH UP TO 20 HOURS/WEEK  Volunteer up to 20 hours each week in Lebanon in exchange for free room and board. Weekends are normally free to experience the culture by traveling around Lebanon.
The Need: Volunteer up to 20 hours a week in our Work and Travel office in Beirut helping college students who will be coming to the US for a few months. They want help with conversational English and to ease their "culture shock". Talk to them about the American culture, what to expect when they travel to the US, how to organize themselves, book a train, bus, hotels, etc. You can be a "cultural ambassador" for the students in Lebanon.
Benefits:- Travel for less.
- Accommodations in a homestay or guesthouse.
- You put in a couple of hours each day literally talking, and depending on your schedule, the rest of your time is spent traveling and experiencing the culture in depth.
- Do you want to learn Arabic or brush up on your language skills? We can help arrange optional language classes for you. It's up to you. Or, learn from the students you are teaching.
- Tip the advantage to you by enhancing your resume by volunteering as a Conversation Partner. Job: "Language Tutor." References: Global. It just doesn't get any better than that. Resume and cover letter services FREE for two months via Pongo Resume.
- Organizations are interviewed and carefully screened by in-country staff.
