Class size can range from 10 to 80 students. School runs from Monday to Friday with Saturday and Sunday off, students are between 7 and 16 years of age. To teach English at a Tanzania school you don’t need to have formal teaching qualifications. You will need a good command of written and spoken English, plenty of enthusiasm and a lot of patience.
