STIJN (THE NETHERLANDS)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Volunteered From JANUARY 2023 TO FEBRUARY 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2023 I think the fact that my two months of teaching at Habibi have felt like two weeks, describes my experience best. It was great to work with my students on a more intense level. Having a small class for 5 days a week really allows you to give every individual student the attention they need. It was amazing to see them become more comfortable with me, each other and their English. As I taught the students who just got out of the literacy class, the latter seemed like the biggest challenge for me. I really tried to make them more comfortable in having conversations in English and have them understand that they should not be afraid to make mistakes, as long as they keep trying. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to teach them and for all the lessons they taught me!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
