Ashinaga Study Camp Intern Jobs in Uganda

Ashinaga Study Camp Intern Jobs in Uganda

The Ashinaga Africa Initiative (Anglophone and Lusophone) will welcome around 30 selected scholars from around 30 different countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to our leadership program in Kampala, Uganda, to receive academic training in their studies of interest, as well as assistance applying to universities around the world.

Through education, Ashinaga hopes to empower its students to make the change that they wish to see in their communities, countries, and Africa as a whole. These students have all lost one or both parents, and have been specifically chosen due to their academic ability, financial need, and potential for leadership.

Anglophone and Lusophone students attend a in person Study Camp 1 (July - October) and online Study Camp 2 (October - December), which focuses on academic improvement, as well as university applications.

We are looking for a range of interns to support these students, during the IN PERSON Study Camp 1 (July - October) and ONLINE during Study Camp 2 (October - December). The intern will support the students in IELTS and SAT exam preparation, essay writing, mathematics, and subject-specific studies.

This internship is an opportunity for open-minded and driven interns to not only develop their teaching and mentoring by designing their own lessons, engaging with innovative pedagogical methods, applying creative problem solving but also a hands on opportunity to learn about the challenges and possibilities in African education and development.

Students then participate in a remote Preparation Camp (April - June). The Preparation Camp is only attended by Ashinaga's Anglophone students, and it is focused on preparing scholars for life at university in another culture and leadership.

Join us to make a big impact on the lives of these students, whilst learning more about yourself and gaining a wealth of international experience!

Note: The students you will work with are mostly soon-to-be university students, aged 18-22.

Main Tasks and Responsibilities:

Teach in a classroom setting of five to thirty students, with class allocation based on interns’ experiences and interests.

During the study camp, native level English speakers will principally work with students who will go onto study English programmes at university while Portuguese speakers will work with students who will go onto study at Lusophone universities.

Create, in collaboration with other interns and supervisors, an academic program catering to the students’ needs.

Advise the students about their options of universities abroad, and guide them through the application process.

Formulate an engaging extra-curricular program to encourage bonding amongst the students and the self-confidence for leadership.

Support Rainbow House students (primary school level) with academic development.

Requirements:

Must be at university or have recently completed their degree (can be from any subject).

Have a student-focused approach and a willingness to adapt teaching materials and methods.

Must be flexible and able to work in dynamic and new environments (both in and out of the classroom).

Can easily work with individuals with cultural differences and beliefs.

Fluent or Native English speaker (IELTS 6.0, TOEFL iBT 78, TOEIC 750 or higher for the non-English native speaker).

Full vaccination status. Ugandan law requires all teachers to be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus under a WHO-approved vaccination program.

Desired Skills or Attributes:

Advanced Portuguese, Japanese (N3 or higher) or French language proficiency. Note: Fluent Portuguese speakers will help students with university applications in both camps.

Experience of tutoring and/or teaching, especially with disadvantaged students or those from a background different to one’s own.

Experience with IELTS or the SAT.
