iTeachCommunity Inc
Our community started at Brown University in 2010, and later grew to include colleges around the world. Our very first service was to deliver an English language program to communities in Cambodia and grew to include students in Panama, Japan and India. University students would volunteer their time and effort providing English lessons to students via Skype. Our language program provides the opportunity for learners of language to come together to practice and gain fluency, with the added benefit of gaining insights into each others cultures. iTeachCommunity was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2014.
Our Team
Isabel khoo
Founder and DIRECTOR
"Education is a privilege." But to transfer the knowledge gained is also a privilege. While many have the spirit, distances and circumstances often prevent them from contributing. Technology has created a global society, enabling us to 'e-volunteer' from anywhere in the world. Now that we have the tools to deliver learning anywhere and anytime, many more volunteers can contribute to help those in our society who would otherwise be unable to access resources to learn.
Isabel founded iTeachCommunity in 2010 and oversees the organization as it expands and develops. She graduated from Brown University in 2013 and currently works at Morgan Stanley.
