Spain 2024 Volunteering

Hello! My name is Brooke Pasmore. I am 23 years old. I am from the United States of America. I live in Florida! Before coming to Spain, I was going through a difficult time. However, with the support and encouragement of my family, especially my dad, I was able to push through and complete the TEFL course.

Shortly after this accomplishment, I received an email inviting me to volunteer in Spain. To say that I was ecstatic would be an understatement. Teaching English as a foreign language in Spain had always been a dream of mine.

From the moment I arrived in Spain, I felt welcomed and supported. My host family embraced me as their own, introducing me to their culture and way of life. My tutor guided me through the challenges of teaching English to non-native speakers, helping me develop my skills and confidence.

But the most rewarding part of this experience has been the connections I have made with my students. Watching them learn and grow, seeing the progress they have made, has been truly fulfilling. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn have inspired me in ways I never thought possible.

I want to thank Simon Jones, the founder of Educados International, for giving me this opportunity. He not only helped me fulfill a lifelong dream but has also shown me the power of perseverance and resilience. I will carry the memories and lessons learned during my time in Spain with me for the rest of my life.
