I already knew a lot of English speakers in Shanghai who were looking for a meaningful way to help others. Stepping Stones emerged as a neat way to bridge a need in our local community with a valuable resource.

After nearly two years of teaching, I have experienced that “our” students have turned from being nervous and afraid to speak, into being willing to express themselves as little people. Some of them have changed from introverted to extroverted personalities and every time they see us now, they look so happy and naturally greet us in English – which is obviously a foreign language for them!”
