Private School Students

In many cities, private school students grow up speaking primarily in English from an early age, developing native fluency without even realizing it. However, due to language barriers and socio-economic differences, they rarely interact with students from government schools who have little opportunity to practice speaking it.

Srong spoken English skills open doors to better job opportunities in India. By sharing your skills, you can help government school students improve their spoken English while gaining valuable experiences yourself. This interaction can broaden your perspective, build social awareness, and give you a deeper appreciation of the Other India, all while helping you realize your own potential.

Many school curriculums also require extracurricular activities to develop creativity, activity, and service (CAS). Our platform makes it easy for you to get involved through a structured program where you and your friends can teach English at local government schools, making a real impact while fulfilling academic and personal growth goals.

How will this initiative help you?

Students Collective offers a simple, tech-enabled platform that connects you with nearby government schools. It provides structured, class-by-class lesson plans to guide your teaching sessions, making the experience easy and engaging.

Through this program, you’ll step out of your comfort zone, have fun teaching alongside other private school students, and share your skills with children you might not otherwise meet. At the same time, you’ll build social awareness, gain meaningful experiences, and fulfill extracurricular requirements for your syllabus and future college applications.

Testimonials

"This was a awesome experience which opened my eyes to my bright young friends outside my community. My father and I felt much closer after this moving experience. It stood prominent in my US college applications. The best part? The students started calling me 'Meera Akka' (elder sister)."

What is Involved?

This is your chance to step into the teacher’s role! Don’t worry – given your natural  English speaking skills, peer teaching using our LMS is super-easy and fun. 

With our tech platform, you can sign up to volunteer online. It’s even more exciting when you join with friends or parents who are interested! Once registered, you’ll see a list of nearby government schools and can choose one that’s most convenient for you and your group.

To be able to manage a class (alongside a team), we recommend this program for students in Grades 9th –12th teach govt. school students in 3rd – 10th grades. We will train, mentor, and support you as you begin teaching spoken English every week at the government school of your choice. Saturdays are a popular option since government schools operate then, while private schools typically don’t – ensuring that your academic schedule isn’t affected.

All activities and progress will be tracked through our Learning Management System (LMS), with reports available for you to monitor your impact. These reports can also help fulfill CAS or other extracurricular requirements. Plus, we’ll work with you to arrange the projector for classroom lessons.
