Our English Classes
Kids
Our lessons for 5 to 12 year olds are divided into two different age groups and are focussed on creativity. They encourage the kids to learn about the English language as a cultural exchange and the lessons are a great way for children in Taltal and Monte Patria to also meet one another, regardless of background or school. We use the Waldford (Rudof Steiner) method, combining language with environmental, social and cultural education and always focus on the happiness of our students, rather than results. Contact us if you would like to find out the times of the classes.

Teens
In addition to learning English in school, we appreciate that more time is needed to fully develop the language. At EFTG, we believe that our youth are our future thus it is our goal to help the teens of Taltal and Monte Patria achieve a fluid and fluent level of English. We do this by running after school programmes. We use the Waldford (Rudof Steiner) method, combining language with an environmental, social and cultural experience to encourage our teens to be well rounded, engaged people; our students don’t come to our classes to be taught, they come to learn.

Además de aprendizaje de inglés en la escuela convencional, creemos que se necesita más tiempo para desarrollar plenamente el idioma Inglés. En EFTG, creemos que nuestr@s jóvenes son nuestro futuro, por lo tanto nuestro objetivo es ayudar a l@s adolescentes de Taltal a lograr un inglés fluido. Hacemos esto con nuestras clases. Usamos metodología Waldorf (Rudolf Steiner), combinándo el idioma con una experiencia medioambiental, social y cultural, animándoles a estar bien preparados, ser personas comprometidas; nuestr@s estudiantes no vienen a que se les enseñe, vienen a aprender.
Workers
We understand that everyone has different schedules, so we offer classes Monday to Wednesday in the morning, 9:10am and evening classes at 7:00pm. With adult learners we use the Tailor Made+ method, so you can ‘live’ the English language through interaction with our volunteers in conversation, social events and fun activities. We invite all levels, and focus on conversational skills as well as reading and writing.

Our team
Word on the street
The town of Taltal is a beautiful hidden gem just waiting to be discovered and I feel so blessed to have spent a number of weeks sharing my days with Hector, his team and the enthusiastic EFTG students. The level of English taught here is extremely impressive and it was a true honour to be a part of it. Arrive to Taltal as a stranger, and leave as a friend.
Hector is one of the most enthusiastic and kind people you will ever meet. Not only does he put so much commitment into making the school fun and a great learning experience, he also makes sure that his volunteers are well looked after and get the full experience. Our time at EFTG was fantastic!
It’s important to learn and speak English as it opens a lot of doors and here at EFTG, it’s like we are a group of friends all learning together.
EFTG and all its teachers are wonderful. The school helps me to learn English so I can travel and find good work
I spent a month volunteering with EFTG where sharing experiences, meeting new people and having a lot of fun was a typical part of my day. A wonderful experience, and will return one day.
Volunteering with EFTG was one of the highlights of my South American trip. The people are amazing, the work is very fulfilling and the social life is great fun. Thank you to Hector, the students and the team.
The volunteer position as a teacher for EFTG gave me a sense of adventure. Thanks to Cristian, Karina, Rebeka, and Hector for providing both physical and mental comfort as well as many unforgettable memories. For that I am forever grateful.
