See the role details02 / PAY & SCHEDULE
Preparation time is not paid separately. Full materials and a Mentor’s Guide are provided before each session.
Children use English to tell stories, solve problems, and explain their choices. You help them ask questions and think carefully about the answers, including answers from AI.
OUR PROGRAMS
Younger children learn through stories and play. As they grow, they take on collaborative projects, discussions, and debates. Each program gives them more ways to use English.
Help children feel
comfortable speaking.
Games, stories, and play give younger learners reasons to speak English and share what they think.
Asking questions, describing what they notice, taking turns, and building a story together.
Story-making, movement games, collaborative drawing on a shared whiteboard, and a group reflection.
Turn ideas into
shared projects.
Children work together on real-world problems, then explain in English what they made and why.
Comparing solutions, sharing responsibilities, and explaining the choices behind a group project.
Digital stories, posters, and presentations using tools such as Gemini and Canva. Children discuss which AI suggestions to use and why.
Build an argument.
Consider another view.
Older learners use English to debate ideas, make decisions together, and lead projects.
Supporting an argument, considering other views, making group decisions, and using AI responsibly.
Live discussions, leadership projects, presentations, and AI prototypes using Google AI Studio. Project work becomes part of a portfolio.
You’ll have a plan to work from for every session.
Each session comes with a deck, activity prompts, and a Mentor’s Guide. Review them before class, then use your judgment to guide the conversation.
A few examples from our session decks.
A colorful introduction to story-based sessions for younger learners.
Visuals help children explore neurons and talk about what happens when they learn something new.
A lesson about what to do when something feels difficult, and why it helps to try again.
Student guides explain the steps of each activity, including how to write prompts when using AI.
Your Mentor’s Guide includes questions, timings, and a checklist to review before class.
Families can use bilingual key phrases and a five-minute warm-up to help children get ready for the session.
We’re looking for educators who listen carefully and ask thoughtful questions.
You’ll help children explain their thinking, listen to one another, and keep going when they get stuck. Knowing when to step back is part of the job.
