We also have high school students who primarily teach math classes to younger students or lead clubs such as chess and debate. We are meticulous in selecting our teachers, striving to provide an environment that offers quality education to students and a platform for high schoolers to volunteer and contribute to the community by teaching children. With typically 5-10 and a maximum of 12 students per class, our teachers can give great attention to each and every student.
