What Is GLOW Tutoring?

GLOW Tutoring is committed to expanding educational access and enhancing English skills for under-resourced communities. Founded as a student-led initiative, we connect volunteer tutors with middle school students at Sanjayeon Middle School in rural South Korea through weekly Zoom sessions.

Our name represents our core values — Growth, Language, Opportunity, and World — reflecting our belief that language learning opens doors to global connection and personal development.

Each semester, we partner with Sanjayeon Middle School, a rural South Korean boarding school, to deliver ten structured classes, pairing dedicated tutors with students for meaningful, consistent mentorship.

Our Partnership

A meaningful collaboration bridging continents and cultures through education.

Working with Sanjayeon Middle School

Sanjayeon Middle School is a rural boarding school nestled in the mountains of South Korea. Many of its students come from under-resourced backgrounds with limited access to English-language instruction and international exposure. Our partnership directly addresses this gap.

Through GLOW, students at Sanjayeon receive consistent, personalized English tutoring from dedicated volunteers — building not only language proficiency but genuine cross-cultural connections that broaden their worldview.

Cross-Cultural Exchange

Students and tutors learn from each other, sharing perspectives across the Pacific and building lasting global awareness.

Tailored to Their Needs

Each curriculum is designed around the specific proficiency levels and goals of Sanjayeon's students, ensuring relevant and impactful learning.

Long-Term Commitment

This isn't a one-off event — our semester-long structure builds trust, rapport, and measurable improvement over time.
