Myfamilyabroad.com offers a unique and affordable volunteer placement in Spain for people looking for an alternative gap year, a life-changing experience or to kick-start their career in the TEFL world.
Myfamilyabroad.com places English-speaking volunteers with Spanish families in Madrid who provide full board and accommodation. In return the volunteer helps their Spanish family improve their English for 15 hours a week, through conversation, games, activities and general living time together. Placements last for 1-3 months.
For the volunteers (Language Assistants) it is a great way to enhance their CV, gain work experience, improve their language skills, immerse themselves in another culture and meet new people. It?s a great way for individual travellers to experience life abroad.
For the families it?s a unique opportunity to learn English in a fun and natural way with a native English speaker who becomes one of the family. English as a foreign language is becoming increasingly popular and important in Spain and parents want their children to grow up speaking it well.
Why myfamilyabroad.com is different:
Family visits:
Myfamilyabroad.com visits every Spanish family to get to know them, build their profile and take pictures of their home for the Language Assistant. This allows them to personally match each Language Assistant with a suitable family.
Welcome Reception and Training on arrival:
Myfamilyabroad.com personally welcomes each Language Assistant to Madrid. They offer a welcome reception and training session in a relaxed environment to provide essential information about life with a Spanish family and about being a Language Assistant in Madrid. At the end of the training session the myfamilyabroad.com staff introduce the Language Assistants to their Spanish families and the adventure begins.
Settling in:
To help Language Assistants settle into life in Madrid and to get the most out of the programme, myfamilyabroad.com offers various extras, including 25% discount off Spanish classes, and pre-departure and arrival packs. Drawing on their own experience they also provide an exclusive member?s area with a wealth of activity and game ideas to keep kids and the parents entertained for hours in English.
About myfamilyabroad.com:
The founders of myfamilyabroad.com are two Sussex University graduates, Tim and Francesca. They came to Madrid with a couple of backpacks, a Spanish phrasebook and a sense of adventure. Their six-month trip turned into a life in sunny Madrid. After years of working in English language teaching and management they set up myfamilyabroad.com. The company strives to offer the personal touch, using their own experience of living in Madrid as a basis.
