Enhance Your Madrid Experience While Helping Local Children Learn English!​

​

Looking for a rewarding experience in Madrid? Want to help Spanish children boost their English skills?

 

Our project pairs families with native English speakers or bilingual students who engage with children through play and conversation, improving their listening and speaking abilities among others.

​

Students work with kids aged 4 to 16, focusing on age-appropriate activities. For younger children, we use games and songs to teach basic English. For older kids and teens, we reinforce speaking skills and assist with homework.

​

Students earn €15 per hour for their time at the family’s home, covering travel and expenses.
