Aishaa Learning Center

I started this on budget learning center for everyone (the rich and especially the poor) in my hometown, Sungai Penuh, Jambi, Indonesia (at first). 2 years later, after exploring many things in life, I decided to start a Pay-As-You-Wish learning center on Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Little did I know that in a year it has grown unexpectedly great with massive supports from many many people. Now we have more than 50 paid part-time teachers teaching in Lombok, Sungai Penuh and online with more than 300 students all around Indonesia and a few of them are from other countries. Our vision has shifted, from giving affordable education to everyone (students) to improving teaching skills of Indonesian teachers so they can be paid well in their own country. We would say that English is the main reason of students joining us. We try to focus on the student's speaking skills since we realize that in Indonesia, there are a lot of people who are good at Grammar but can't communicate in English at all! That's also the case with other languanges/subjects as well as skills they have been learning-they lack of practical knowledge and skills. That's why we want to build students' confidence first instead of learning too many theories without comprehending how they are actually applied. We build a class of fun, natural and homey to make students comfortable and happy while learning. As for parents and or adult students, they can set their own curriculum needed by themselves / their children as we call it nowadays "Kurukulum Merdeka". Students/Parents are free to choose what they want to learn, when, where, and how they want to learn it. Privately? In a small or large group? With local or international teacher? You always have options!
