Collegiate Summer Internship - For 18 Year-olds to Pre-College Graduate

Summer Interns are an important part of giving MeySen Academy students more exposure to the English language. The role of the Intern can be anywhere from playing and speaking with our students, to classroom activity preparation, and helping at our events. This opportunity is often utilized by a U.S. college student looking for an un-paid, summertime internship. Over the years, several of our Interns have even returned to MeySen Academy and become fulltime English teachers, upon graduating university!
