It’s really a great experience for the students of both countries to make new friends as well as to share their experiences with each other. As a teacher, I am very proud of becoming a facilitator for young minds to explore.

Sridhar Koneru
TPG Teacher, Greenville, SC

First of all, my Indian students felt so excited to receive a letter/email from an American. Secondly, I learned that exploring different educational systems is an advantage to any teacher, since a teacher can bring out the best strategies of what they learned from different sources.

Ravi Surla

The TPG cultural exchange program has been extremely beneficial. The teachers are professional, coachable, and eager to learn and assume new responsibilities.
