Bye Bye Anxiety

We’re a group of highly-motivated high school students from Jakarta, the United Kingdom and the United States. Some of us are fluent in Bahasa. We’re eager to connect with ESL students across Indonesia to support free, high-quality peer-to-peer English-speaking mentoring. Our non-profit, Bye Bye Anxiety, started as a COVID relief program donating essential supplies to nursing homes in the Jakarta-Tangerang area. When we realized that many face-to-face ESL programs were discontinued because of social distancing measures, we decided to extend our services by developing this English-speaking program. Our mission remains the same: to break down barriers brought about by the pandemic, and saying goodbye to all forms of anxiety experienced by students, adults, and minorities. Our hope for this program is to help every learner achieve their English goals.
