LIVE WITH A GERMAN FAMILY AND TEACH THEM ENGLISH 15 HOURS EACH WEEK.

GeoVisions' Conversation Corps provides English conversationalists a chance to live with a German family and teach them English.  Because of the close proximity of the "students" this will be an amazing adventure of living in your teaching environment.  This is a high-energy position.  For instance, the parents may have been working all day and the children have been in school but you still need to come up with fun and enthusiastic ways to teach them English.  We provide the materials; you provide the personality to liven up a family class or dinner conversation!

This is also a great program for people who want to experience life in Munich (and the surrounding area) and the German culture in-depth.  The program has a focus on cultural exchange and host families are not only excited to learn English but also love to share the characteristics of their country, culture and cuisine.

Conversation Corps volunteers receive instruction on how to teach English, with specific activities for teaching English in a home to a family.  Your orientation is held onsite in Munich.  Transportation to the host family is also included.

Participants will instruct their host families in English and must be native speakers.  They need to have earned a high school (secondary school) diploma or certificate, be in good health and abide by the family’s rules and habits. Placements are available throughout the year and range in duration from one to three months. Participants must devote up to 15 hours per week, Monday thru Friday, for lessons and conversation.

Duties and Responsibilities include:

  • Teaching the host family English up to 15 hours a week Monday to Friday
  • Come up with creative, fun and informative lesson plans
  • Keep your room tidy and clean
  • Respect host family’s rules and habits
  • Manage your own personal expenses (telephone bills, clothing, entertainment and spending money)
  • Helping children with their English homework
  • Play games in English with the children
  • Create and teach educational games and activities

This GeoVisions program includes accommodation and all meals (except when you travel independently), airport pick-up, project training, in-country support, extensive medical and accident insurance, extensive pre-departure information and onsite project orientation.
