Mary Ng
Mary Ng, a writer and coach, volunteers with Greater Action’s English Academy to support refugees through conversational English.
She finds the experience deeply meaningful, not only because she witnesses her students’ growth and determination, but also because it gives her insight into their lives, families, and dreams.
Despite language barriers, she adapts her teaching with patience, creativity, and support from students themselves.
Mary describes the academy as a friendly and engaging community that helps refugees build confidence and integrate into their new lives.
Reflecting on her journey, she says:
“I’m immersed in a different world.”
