Volunteer asks: Are we going to have any idea what the age range of our students is going to be before we arrive?
Last year, in both villages, my students ranged from 4 to 40 with varying levels of English skills. Four year olds know little english and learn slowly, while 40 year olds know little english but learn pretty quickly. Older teenagers are pretty much fluent, while those good ol' 'tweens are my favorite - they know enough that they take really well to lessons, and they're novice enough that you have a lot more to offer them in terms of new information.
