TUTOR CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH TO JORDANIAN COLLEGE STUDENTS UP TO 20 HOURS PER WEEK

Volunteer up to 20 hours each week as a Conversation Parnter in Jordan in exchange for free room and board. 

• Travel for less.
• Accomodations in a homestay or guesthouse.
• You put in a couple of hours each day literally talking, and 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.
• 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.
• Each organization is interviewed and carefully screened by in-country staff.
• Exclusive materials written by GeoVisions staff will give you "a bag of tricks" as you engage your new "students".  Premium membership in the esl-lounge FREE to Conversation Partners.
• Join us on Facebook and begin the conversation now.  And when you come back, our Returnee network is a great place to share your experiences.

This is a high-energy and really fun position.  GeoVisions provides the materials; you provide the personality to liven up an informal conversation class!  Find out first-hand how Jordanians live and work day-to-day.  Sometimes there are opportunities to take part in activities.  Plus, the locals can show you landmarks and hidden gems.
