    We need your help in teaching basic English conversation to our Thai students. We already have local teachers who teach them how to read/write English and grammas, but we are looking for native English speakers to teach extra cirriculums, to interact with the students and help them practice their language skills which includes basic conversation, verbal communication, vocaburaries and pronounciation. Our goal is to provide the opportunity for the students learn directly from native English speakers and at the same time learn different cultures from volunteers from different parts of the world.

    The two schools are located nearby. Each volunteer will be assigned to each school. Students are ranges from Kindergarten to 10th grade. Class size is approximatly 15 students for lower grades and a larger class size of a combined classes for a higher grades. Volunteers will interact with students alone while the local teachers may be observing in the classroom.
