International English Tutoring

The Official Website:a2ce.org

We help the high school students in Yunnan China improve their English. After attending the summer camp organized by the Peach Foundation in 2018, we found that the students there have limited English resources to improve their English, especially in listening and speaking. Since then, we have started a one-on-one English help program. As of now, we have twelve learning groups. The teenager teachers are from Saratoga High School. The students from Yunnan are from three different high schools.

The procedure is:

Step 1: If there is a student in Yunnan who wants to get help, we find a student that wants to provide help from our schools.

Step 2: Connect them by WeChat and help them set the first appointment. The students from Yunnan send an article they want help at least one hour before the appointment time.

Step 3: There is a time difference between California and China. The high schoolers in Yunnan cannot access the internet at school, and they can only come home during holidays and some of the weekends. We usually set a time during (US) 5pm-10pm Friday to Sunday, which is (Yunnan) 8am-1pm Saturday to Monday.

Step 4: They will have a WeChat video call at the first appointment time. The teachers will read the article sent in its entirety for their student.

Step 5: The teacher and student can set future appointment times by themselves. We can provide help based on their requirements.

We appreciate the time and help provided by the teachers. It takes one hour to set up the appointment, prepare the article and video call.

Other ways to help are welcome. One of the ways we found efficient is: the students in Yunnan send the material first. The US teachers can study and resolve the problem and then send it back. The US teacher will also record his/her reading of the material for the student in Yunnan to listen.

此项目是帮助云南高中生在美国同龄人帮助下提高自己英语口语和听力的。我们希望做到一对一，男孩对男孩，女孩对女孩，每周争取一次，每次30-40分钟。一般是中国的周日上午，美国加州时间周六傍晚和下午。形式就是，一对一的两个小伙伴先约好时间，通话前发一篇文章及题目给在美国的同龄人，到约定的时间微信视频，他/她教读和理解，再互相答疑。如果预定时间无法做到，云南的同学可以先把材料发给美国同学，美国同学按照云南同学的要求改错, 答题，然后发回给云南同学，并且读一下文章，这样云南同学可以反复听。

如果您有意提供帮助，请填申请表格，我们会尽快跟您取得联系。十分感激！
