Would you like to be a 'Mentor' to one of our teachers or students? All subjects are taught in Telugu, but English is part of the curriculum in all schools in India because it is the most commonly used language in business, government, railway/air travel and all service industries.

To help the school we use spoken exchanges through SKYPE between the school teachers and retired TEFL teachers - members of 'The University of the Third Age' - in Australia, South Africa and England.

The most important aspect of our MENTORING project is to improve spoken English and to raise the level of confidence of both teachers and students. You might use two of the school's wall-charts as subject matter for discussion and you can click on FOOD and FRUIT to see those charts.

I am Sandhya technical assistant of Tom Holloway and I am looking after the Mentoring project. Please keep in touch with me and don't hesitate to write if you have any question. I would be very pleased to reply. My email address is sandhya@holloways.org
