LESSONS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

Does your school accept pupils from overseas? How good is their English?

Do you have pupils with EAL needs in your school?
Is there English language level quite low?
Is it difficult for them to integrate in school and follow subject classes because their English is holding them back?
Do you not have EAL staff with appropriate training ie a minimum qualification of CELTA or Trinity TESOL?

Then we can either

send a teacher to your school to teach these children
provide short intensive English language classes during the holidays to help children improve their English Language Skills
