Educational Volunteer teaching Children in Cambodia
Educational volunteers work together with local teachers or, in some cases, on their own. At preschool, the volunteer work includes teaching basic English skills, and as well carrying out some basic childcare duties. At primary and secondary school, you will volunteer teaching core subjects like English, mathematics, science, and may initiate extra-curricular activities after school such as art, music, theater, sports or gardening.
Volunteers may also tutor small and manageable community groups or individual tutoring outside the class room for adults. In some schools, you will prepare tests and exams and even correct exams. The longer you stay the more responsibilities you will receive.

Accommodation & Meals
PHNOM PENH:
Guesthouse:
AVN Volunteer House has just renovated to be the most comfortable and convenience for the volunteer to stay where it just feel like their home. The house is located very close to the Russian Market and volunteer can walk just only around 5min.
The volunteer house has electricity, cool & hot water and Wi-Fi access. The bathroom is inside all rooms. Bedrooms are comprised of single beds and bunk beds with bedding provided. The house als
o has a dining area downstairs, a living room with TV & books, and a roof terrace to relax at free time. Volunteers can expect to share a room with one or two other volunteers.
Host Family:
You will have your own room (most likely) or share a room with one other volunteer. The rooms are usually quite simple, the same way your host family lives: a bed and sheets, a fan and maybe a small cupboard to store your clothes. Some rooms might have a private bathroom while others share a bathroom.
Generally, Cambodians are very conscious about cleanliness.
The host family will provide you with three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you prefer to have lunch at work, it might be possible ask your host family to prepare a lunchbox for you.

The Smiley Guesthouse has 27 rooms, all fully furnished with modern conveniences to make sure your stay with us is enjoyable and as easy as possible. The entire building is decorated in a colourful and modern way with a splash of

The Smiley Guesthouse is a family enterprise run by local Khmer who have built the guesthouse up to incorporate everything a customer expects and more. Located in a good place just 10 minutes walking to downtown, the villa is tranquil and serene enough to enjoy a peaceful moment before heading out for a lively evening just around the corner.
