Program Reviews:
Morgan Elizabeth Wells, Summer 2019 Participant
The most rewarding part of the program was when the students were having fun in the classroom with the lessons my teaching partner and I created. It felt great seeing them enjoying the lessons and successfully complete the material we created for them.

Mandeep Kaur Ballagan, Summer 2016 Participant
Time management is super important. You will taking class and teaching/observing at the same time. There is quite a lot of work and it is super important to stay on top of it and manage your time well.

Summer 2016 Participant
I found teaching most rewarding because of the students. They were so engaged and willing to participate in our lessons. Monitoring their individual progress and increased confidence in English was so rewarding.
