Xiamen Houzhai Public Welfare Library teacher

“This is Stepping Stones’ fourth year partnering with Houzhai Public Welfare Library to provide volunteer teachers. The volunteer teacher interacted tremendously well with the students and taught them through experience that English was a vocal cord muscle exercise which could help students learn to speak confidently. We could clearly see progress in the students’ speaking ability in the second week, from the students’ original awkward stutters and evasive postures to almost fluency and confidence with simple and common phrases. New confident smiles on the kids’ faces were proof of the gain in their knowledge.”
