At Teach The Teachers, we believe in sustainable cooperation to foster prosperity. By creating long term connections with schools, teachers and authorities in Northern Peru, we make sure that the project is embedded in the communities. By working closely together with the teachers to enhance their levels of English, they will be better able to impact hundreds of students in their classes, giving t
hem more professional opportunities in the future. During an entire semester, we pair up a group of Belgian volunteers with a group of Peruvian teachers. In bimonthly skype sessions, they get classes and exercises based on their personal level of English. As apotheosis, our team goes to Peru for 6 weeks, where we closely work together with the teachers: observing, training and giving feedback. On top of that, we help to raise awareness on the importance of the English levels in creating professional opportunities by organising community events. To ensure the quality of the program, we work together with the Centre voor Levende Talen (CLT) in Leuven, we use a scientific framework to test English levels and we carefully select our volunteers and give them training on teaching and the Peruvian culture.
