Language Connect for Ukraine
The war has created unique challenges for the people of Ukraine, including the urgent need for displaced Ukrainians to learn new languages to integrate into their new communities.
To address this need, The Educational Equality Institute is proud to run Language Connect for Ukraine, a free language learning platform powered by Kintell.com . This initiative connects Ukrainian refugees with volunteer language teachers and conversational partners worldwide and has already facilitated countless hours of learning.
Language Connect for Ukraine is designed to help Ukrainians overcome language barriers and improve their skills in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Lithuanian and Romanian, with new languages added weekly as more volunteers join. Thousands of Ukrainians have already signed up to benefit from 1-to-1 video sessions on the platform.
Volunteer teachers generously provide their services for free.
Charmaine De’ Ath, a teacher from South Africa, shared her experience: “I really feel that I am contributing to the cause. The Ukrainian students are so grateful. I must have already taught more than 100 hours on the platform!”
Key Features of Language Connect for Ukraine
Powerful Time Negotiation for Different Time Zones
Managing different time zones is crucial for global volunteers. Kintell.com 's scheduling and booking system automatically considers time zone differences and synchronizes with users’ calendars. This ensures that learners and teachers only see available times that work for both parties, no matter where they are in the world. Amy Frewing, a popular tutor from Oregon, USA, easily schedules her tutorials with many Ukrainians across Europe.

“This has been an amazing experience using the platform. This has been as much of a learning experience for me as it has for them – I honestly believe I have made some lifelong connections,” said Amy Frewing, a teacher from the U.S.
Track Your Impact with Data Analytics
Data is vital for securing additional support for the program. With Kintell.com 's integrated search, booking, video conferencing, and native data analytics tools, TEEI collects concrete figures on the number of Ukrainian users and total tutorial hours. This data supports funding applications to continue and expand their great work.
Self-Serve Member Connect for Scale
Language Connect is designed to be ‘self-serve,’ making the program's impact and reach endlessly scalable. Hundreds of new learners join every month, and soon, Language Connect will support numerous Ukrainians who need to learn a new language quickly, helping them make lifelong connections in the process.
Powering Video Classes and Bite-Size Content
As TEEI’s digital partner, Kintell provides best-in-class video meeting capabilities to support virtual group classes. Ukrainians access these classes mainly via Kintell’s mobile apps (iOS and Android), which offer the convenience of joining a class anytime, anywhere. Bite-size video introductions of the teachers help Ukrainian students choose their preferred instructors.

4 天前This is a deception. They attract you with a free offer, but you can't take advantage of it. Then find a paid tutor for $1 per minute. I spent time registering, understanding and finding someone to help me with my spoken English. I chose Rana Hossain and the time he indicated as free. But Rana offered another time that was not convenient for me for 30 minutes. I canceled this appointment, sent a message, and booked another time from the one offered. Again, not so. There was also some kind of bug on the platform, and they sent me a bunch of messages about rescheduling the meeting when the time was up, threatening to lower my rating. That is, you have to spend many days coordinating to have a meeting for 30 minutes once a month. What kind of practice is this? Use it yourself.
