Reflection on Teaching English and Learning German

At the Excellence Center you take on the role of an English tutor where you get the opportunity to meet and help refugees achieve their goals for learning the English language. What makes this experience so unique is the human aspect of it all. You'll grow to learn more about your students and in many instances befriend them and become personally invested in their success in English studies and beyond. Many students are interested in improving their conversational English which in turn gives you an opportunity to learn about other cultures and what life is like for your students in Germany. The community of volunteers are sure to make you feel welcomed and are likely to also become your friends. The experience itself is invaluable and helps broaden your perspectives. If you're looking to push yourself out of your comfort zone and have a desire to learn then you've come to the right place.
