WHY IS ETO OFFERING ENGLISH SCHOLARSHIPS?
Supporting ESL students in school!
Struggling with English in school can be very stressful, academically and socially. This is unfortunately the reality for millions of children in the US. Students with limited English skills are less likely to understand in-class lessons or ask questions, and more likely to struggle academically. It can be hard for children to make new friends when they are hesitant to speak.
They also may not understand the American culture, school environment, slang expressions, and more - making a child’s day-to-day life stressful and challenging.
Avoiding Bullying
Bullying is unfortunately common around the world, and the US is no exception. A nationwide average of 20% of students report some type of bullying, and non-native English speakers are significantly more likely to be the target of bullies. School bullying can have a negative impact on every area of a child’s life, including mental health, academic performance, self-esteem and confidence, as well as overall happiness. Limited English language speaking skills make it much harder for students to integrate into their new lives in the United States.
ETO can help solve these issues!
ETO can help children enhance their English skills, facilitating their integration into life in the United States, and reducing the risks of bullying! When children have the necessary English communication skills, they can better understand their English school environment and teachers’ instructions, express themselves with confidence, make new friends, and overall be happier!
ETO classes focus on English conversation and pronunciation skills, as well as vocabulary building and grammar. Our approach of combining practical activities with personalized feedback helps children rapidly improve their English speaking skills. Our ETO students become confident at asking and answering questions and expressing their opinions! As a result, ETO students say they get better grades, feel much more comfortable at school interacting with teachers and students, and more at ease with the American culture in general!
You can also try a free 20 min English class over Zoom and learn how you can receive TWO FREE one-hour classes!
