Where a Conversation May Lead…

Irina’s hesitant English kept her from advancing at work; Mary felt sidelined by retirement. Table Wisdom brought them together for conversational English sessions.  Interested in being part of a life-changing conversation?  It all begins with ‘Hello’.

In less than 3 months, Irina had her promotion, and Mary had renewed her sense of purpose, of being valued for her knowledge, skills and life experience. They enjoyed talking about interesting & exciting subjects that ranged from sciences to arts & fairytales. Both had found a new friend.

Table Wisdom matches native speakers of English with young English Language Learners for mutually beneficial conversations, combining language learning with mentoring and friendship, in ways that change lives.

Just once a week, for 45 minutes, when it’s convenient for you, have a videochat, over Skype or Facetime. Or if you prefer to chat in person, you will meet in a public space, such as a local coffee shop or community center.

To be a Table Wisdom Mentor, you must enjoy chatting and have native English language ability.
