Laura Marie Sharp, Summer 2017 Participant
I found teaching in the school the most rewarding experience, as well as learning all the cultural differences the school held.

Summer 2014 Participant
Going into the program I didnt expect that I would be able to teach that much. I thought I would be assigned a few days and I would give my lesson and I would be done. I was completely wrong. I gave 2 lessons everyday to 2 different grades ranging from 1st-5th. This experience was so rewarding because I actually felt like I was helping not only the students with their english but the teachers as well.

Summer 2013 Participant
My favorite part was living with a host family. I think having a host family separates this program from so many others out there.
