"Working as a virtual ESL intern was an unforgettable experience which allowed me to use skills and knowledge from my academic background to further Tandana’s mission and provide educational enrichment for students. Though entirely virtual, I truly felt included as a team member and received much individualized support and encouragement. The genuine care and enthusiasm from the full-time staff, the challenging yet rewarding intern responsibilities, and the teaching experience I gained helped me clarify my career goals. I also loved having a virtual host family to learn more about Ecuadorian culture and am grateful for the kindness of my host parents and siblings."
--Mallory, remote ESL Intern
