Destination info

Moldova is situated between Romania and Ukraine. Chisinau formerly known as Kishineu, is situated on the Byk River in the central area of Moldova.  Visitors to this town are always surprised at how funky the city is; the communist government hasn’t put a downer on the nightlife, which continues until the early hours. The Moldovans attitude is focused on enjoying life – at all hours of the day. Visitor’s previous conceptions of this poor country may be quite inaccurate. Chisinau is the place to be in modern Moldova.

  • Location: Chisinau

Volunteers can teach English in elementary, secondary schools and in an English Language Centre. In addition to classroom teaching, volunteers share resources, develop teaching materials with local teachers, and become involved in community and school-based projects. You are also able to teach French in the schools if you prefer.


Most volunteers work in a secondary school where students start to learn English at about ten years old. Your main focus as a volunteer is to teach conversational English. The local teachers will assist you with classroom preparation and lesson content. Moldovan students are enthusiastic to find out about life outside of Moldova as most haven't had the opportunity to travel. You will find yourself a popular addition to the local teaching staff.


There are typically thirty students in a class. Volunteers work mainly in language lessons although there maybe opportunities to help in other classes such as sports and music.
