Change An Educators’ Life

Posted on: 15 Feb 2026

Ready to make a meaningful difference in the lives of teachers and students across Ukraine, in just one hour per week?

ENGin for Educators (ENGin4EDU) is a unique program that strives to address a root cause of Ukrainian students’ struggles with learning English – teachers who are not confident English speakers themselves. By matching English-fluent educators with Ukrainian educators seeking to improve their English, ENGin4EDU have created a collaborative, creative experience that fosters mutual professional growth, centered on sharing experiences and exchanging global education insights. By supporting educators, we create a ripple effect – for every teacher empowered by our program, we impact the generations of students who will join their classrooms over their careers.

  • Meet weekly for 1 hour one-on-one video chats for 6 months
  • March – May 2026: Follow ENGin4EDU curriculum to engage in insightful discussions related to education trends, teaching methodologies, classroom challenges, and more.
  • June – August 2026: Direct your conversations however you prefer. Explore topics of shared interest while continuing to practice conversational English with your paired educator.
