Teach at weekends in Bengaluru.
Weekend maths and Spoken English classes, and art & craft that gets children talking about their world. Classes are small, around Bellandur and Iblur in south-east Bengaluru, and you teach alongside Optimists who run them every week.
The fine print
- 18 and over
- No teaching background needed
- Free to join
- Saturdays and Sundays
What happens
Small groups and a whiteboard.
Classes meet every week, so we ask class volunteers to come regularly. Groups stay small, so every child gets called up to the board sooner or later.
Maths class
Times tables and sums on the whiteboard, worked through in small groups, so every child gets a turn.
Spoken English
Children practise speaking English and speaking up in front of the group. The classes run at our community centre in Ibbaluru.
Art & craft
Social-awareness art classes: Optimists teach a topic through pictures, then the children make posters about it and explain what they understood, which builds their confidence in speaking.
Special sessions
Some sessions bring the outside world in: disaster preparedness, caring for older relatives, and a postmaster who left every child with a postcard to send.
Volunteer
Your next weekend, sorted.
Bring a few free hours and some patience; the children bring the rest. Most sessions are at weekends in neighbourhoods across Bengaluru, and no experience is needed.
