Volunteer Language Teacher Assistant Italy!

Do you speak a little Italiano? Are you between the ages of 20 and 30? If so, you're perfectly suited to our Volunteer Language Teacher Assistant program in Italy. 

WEP's Volunteer Language Teacher Assistant Program in Italy is available to Australian university  / tafe students and recent graduates, who are passionate about languages, travel and education. Help make learning a language FUN by bringing a piece of Down Under into an Italian classroom. Participants are placed into Italian High Schools for a term to work alongside Italian teachers for a minimum of 15-18 hours per week (5-6 days depending on the school) and share their language and culture with students studying English. 

We will arrange your placement into an Italian school, your host family, local assistance and insurance.
