Hi and thanks for visiting my page!
My name is Sara and I am an English teacher from Canada. I love languages, traveling and eating. I have learned several languages to fluency on my own and I understand the importance of bi(multi)lingualism. Knowing another language, especially English, can significantly boost your opportunities in all aspects of life, especially your career opportunities. English is a language that all non-native speakers want to learn and master. What I learned while offering my lessons online, however, is that not everyone can learn English, no matter how much they want to do it.
I have met quite a number of students excited to learn with me who simply 'changed their mind' when they found out that I offer paid lessons. As much as I would like to, I cannot offer lessons completely for free. I need to pay for my food, internet, computer maintenance and other expenses. However, I realized that it is possible to provide these enthusiastic students with lessons free of charge. A great number of altruistic people exists in this world, including many that are in the situation to offer financial help. This is why I created this campaign. I believe that everyone should have access to language education, even if they aren't as well off financially as others. From my experience, it is possible for students to notice a significant improvement in their English level after just 10 lessons. This improvement in turn motivates them to continue studying English whenever they can and makes them believe in themselves. I know that 10 lessons won't make a complete beginner 100% fluent in the language, but it will be a start. If my initial project goes as planned, I hope to continue and offer more lessons to more students and will hopefully be able to share more than just a few success stories of students who were able to go from almost nothing to fluency.
I do my best to personalize my lessons for each student and this takes time. The lowest price I can offer without having to go into debt myself is 10$ per student per 1 hour lesson. Just 10 dollars will help me provide one lucky student with 1 hour of English instruction. My goal for this initial project is to provide 20 students (some of which I have already selected and others I will select based on their personal stories and enthusiasm to learn) with 10 hours of English lessons each. This will give the chosen students the opportunity to improve their English and to increase their confidence. At the end of the 10 weeks, I hope to ask each student to share their story on how they benefited from this project, which I will use for subsequent campaigns.
If you believe in this cause and have the means to do so, then please help. 10 dollars buys 1 lesson for 1 student and 100 dollars secures 1 student's spot in this initial project. Anything you are willing to donate helps. Even if you are not able to support this project financially at this time, then please support me by sharing my campaign on social media.
Together, we can make language education accessible for everyone!
