Program Reviews:
Hazara Leon, Summer 2017 Participant
My favorite part about this program was that it gave me an opportunity to attend courses that I could directly apply to my internship. Student teaching at Kyunghwa's Girls School was a chance for me to discover what it is like to work as a teacher in a foreign country. I had the chance to acquire valuable skills that are useful for both work and everyday life.

Summer 2016 Participant
One skill I acquired through this program that I didn't expect to was flexibility. Because this is such a new program, there were some unexpected changes, and future students should be prepared to be flexible.

Mandeep Kaur Ballagan, Summer 2016 Participant
The most rewarding element of this program was forming and creating bonds with the students. Many of the students were shy when they first approached us and were insecure about their English speaking skills and it was the most rewarding thing breaking them out of that initial shyness and seeing them grow more confident in their English speaking abilities.
