  Descrição

  Hello Workawayers, Thanks for reading my profile. I have 2 projects :
  
  1. Teaching: I have been helping Students (All age groups) from my local community to develop their English speaking skills. People who have the ability to speak English well, please join me on this journey to educate, motivate and inspire people in my community to improve their English. In exchange, you will be welcomed into my family home, experiencing our rich culture in an authentic atmosphere.
  
  We look forward to experiencing this culturally diverse adventure with you, with great anticipation.
  
  2. General: I have a beautiful rooftop and we are planning to turn this into a terrace garden. At this moment we are looking for someone who can help in the house and help in transforming the rooftop into a beautiful garden. Thanks 😊
  
  
  My name is Sk Saif Ali. I am 28 years old and come from a small town called Panskura where very few people speak English. As a child I was bullied and belittled for being inept at English, so I became determined to study hard and master the ability to speak this language. There are not sufficient schools in Panskura to teach English, and since I didn’t want others to have the same traumatic experience I faced in my youth, I decided to become proactive and open a spoken English Institute of my own! I hope you can now understand my passion and motivation behind this project.
  
  I have been described as hardworking, passionate, determined, honest, kind, considerate, flexible, adventurous, and fun-loving! I would enjoy hearing from you.😁
  
  My town is very rural and very few people speak English. Unfortunately, there were few volunteers in the past who have had bad experiences connecting with random local people. Would prefer it if you don’t walk around alone or connect with locals in anyway. You can ask me or my brother to take you out. You can go with my family also. Also, they don’t know how I am bringing foreigners to help me in school so every term and condition has to be private and shouldn’t be disclosed to anyone. My volunteers represent my school in my town so there is a bit of restriction ( due to local customs and culture). You are welcome to ask questions and be sure before you decide to come. If In case you are looking for fun and entertainment and travel then, unfortunately, this town is not for you.
  
  Profession- I have been working with an IT company and working remotely so it gives me the liberty to run my teaching project side by side.
  
  Nearest City: Kolkata is one of the largest cities in India and is known as the cultural hub of India. Many foreigners from every corner of the world come to visit. Kolkata is 80 km from Panskura.
  
  Family: My family and I reside together in Panskura. Total 4 people are there in my family including me. My mom, dad, and my younger brother.
  
  Vision- Currently my school is running well but my dream is to provide quality English education and expand even further to afford everyone in the community, an opportunity to better their communication skills. This will, in turn, give them self-confidence whether it be in a social setting or a job opportunity.
  
  My dream can become a reality with your valuable assistance. I will provide the syllabus, all I need are capable, passionate, energetic English speaking mentors and motivators!
  
  
  School structure: It's one room of 270 sq feet. where students come to learn spoken English. We don't have a big infrastructure but we have a goal to build a big auditorium hall with the audio-visual system in the near future. We have only around 10 students.
  
  NOTE: Since teaching currently takes place 2 days a week, you will enjoy a lot of leisure time too.
  Even though Panskura is not a big City( like Kolkata), and there may not be malls, parks or hiking opportunities, there is a beach 2 hours away. Safe guided tours of neighboring towns and communities will be provided. As well as many sightseeing outings and trips to our scenic markets and local restaurants. The rest of the time volunteers may help us with household chores if they so choose.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Panskura is well connected by train with Howrah and Kharagpur from where you can go to Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Amritsar and rest of the country.
  
  In your free time, you will learn about our local culture and customs; a tour of flower cultivation; join me in shopping at the local market; learn Hindi and Bengali other house works with me if you wish.
  
  just to let you know that Since our class would be maximum 3 days in a week so there could be a lot of downtimes I will definitely take you to the places nearby according to our time but might happen that you would get lots of time for your own. I have unlimited internet access and WiFi so if you can spend time on the internet then well and good.
  
  You can join our social gatherings and even can attend weddings with us.
  
  I can take you to Kolkata anytime. It takes only two hours by train from Panskura. Kolkata is one of the biggest metro cities of India. A city with five million people known as the ‘City of Joy’, Kolkata holds an important place in the economy, politics and culture of India. The capital of West Bengal, Kolkata is one of the four metropolitan cities in India and has retained its quintessential charm despite modernization.
  
  
  “What Bengal thought today, India thought tomorrow”, is a famous line associated with the city for having produced some of the greatest thinkers, artists, filmmakers, and writers like Rabindranath Tagore, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay and Satyajit Ray. Indeed, ideas in Kolkata in the fields of art, literature, cinema and theater have provided inspiration to rest of the country.
  
  It is more a learning experience for you, having fun and your involvement in my family.

  Ajuda

  We have started our class successfully in May 2018. We do not have many students right now so we are trying to get more students, however, as of now, the plan is to hold classes for three days a week for a maximum five hours per day. Maybe 2-3 meetings with local schools or tutor for the promotion of our classes ( you just need to be with the host, you would not have to convince anyone o dont worry).
  
  My wish for the future is to expand my classes to accommodate all age groups so that they receive quality instruction from a fluent English speaker. I will be present and available in all classes to provide teaching material and assistance with translation when required. If you are confident and capable in your ability to teach English, your help will be greatly appreciated!
  
  Students pay a very small amount of money to us and we try to use that for the WorkAwayer’s expenses and for some needy students who can't afford the fees.
