Hello! Hey everyone! I serve as the USA representative for Teach Huaraz Peru. I live in New York City where I have recently begun a career in teaching English after an inspiring two months down in Peru. I've traveled quite a bit and can honestly say that I haven't experienced anything as special as my time with THP. If you have any interests at all in volunteering abroad, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Brian Marein
USA Representative
Hola!
I am one of the representatives of the USA for Teach Huaraz Peru. After spending a summer in Huaraz, I have returned to Columbus, Ohio to continue my undergraduate studies at the Ohio State University. My two-month stint in Peru was my first time traveling to a foreign nation alone, and the warmth and hospitality of the Delgado family made my adventure fun, safe, and enjoyable. If you would like to learn more about the program and life in Huaraz, especially for younger volunteers who have not had much experience abroad, I am more than happy provide information.

UK Representative
Hola! In 2010 I spent 3 months with THP where I was warmly welcomed by the Delgado family and all the Peruvian students I met. I also witnessed the huge disparity in educational resources Peru has in relation to my experiences as a mathematics teacher in London. I am looking now to continue my involvement with THP from England by coordinating development sessions between qualified teachers of all disciplines and the teachers of Huaraz. Peru has huge desire and potential for improvement, if you want to help that goal then please get in touch asap.

Jessie Connor
AU Representative
Hey guys and gals. My name is Jessie and I am the Australian representative for Teach Huaraz Peru. I am currently travelling around South America, taking a break from my teaching career back home. Prior to coming to Huaraz, i´d taught for two years in primary schools with students aged nine to tweleve. Here in Huaraz, I spent 6 weeks working in various schools and universities around the community. I encounted open, warm and eager students who were deeply curious about people from other countries. Most students I worked with were tenacious in their quest to grasp the English language. My time allowed me to enrich my practice in many ways. Developing relationships with the students as well as the Delgado family, an experience unlikely to be surpassed.
If you are a teacher looking for a new challenge or a avenue for improving your practice I can recommend Teach Huaraz Peru. If you would like to know any more about my experience, have any questions or insights please feel free to contact my via my email below.
