In the English-teaching program, you either work as an independent teacher or as an assistant to an English teacher. You will be teaching in government schools (most likely). If we are unable to find placement in a government school, the participant will then be teaching in either a semi-government or private school where each school has an English teacher. As an English teacher in India , volunteers will teach conversational English through the book designated by said school. Volunteers may also organize games, art lessons, singing, dancing, as well as other creative, educational and extra-curricular activities. Volunteers may also assist children with homework as well as monitor academic progress. Schools may seek the assistance of volunteers with help in other, on-going academic activities or administrative duties.

Though no teaching experience or skill is needed, volunteers joining the English-teaching program in India should have good English. Volunteers are expected to be flexible and patient as well as possess a passion and love for teaching English.

Rustic Volunteer Travel manages room/food for volunteers. Volunteers live with the host family or in hostel. We manage a separate, simple, clean and modest room as well as local meals three times a day. Volunteer will also have an access to our office in India and mobile number of our coordinators. Our staffs also visit volunteers in each 2-4 week interval as a part of the program. Details covering living accommodations provided prior to arrival.

Teaching English projects are available in Delhi (capital city of India and home to Red Fort, Lotus Temple , Qutab Minar, Lodhi Gardens) and Jaipur (Renowned as the Pink City of India and home to Nahargarh Fort and City Palace Museum), with shops, banks & internet cafes nearby. India is the seventh largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country. Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture. A pluralistic, multi-lingual, and multi-ethnic society, India is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats. It has managed to preserve established traditions while absorbing new customs, traditions, and ideas from invaders and immigrants.

Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: camel rides, jeep safaris, bazaars, markets, restaurants, kite flying, temples, museums, palaces, hotels, and many more.
