Building Confidence Through Language
Every lesson at Khmer Hands is more than vocabulary—it’s a doorway to opportunity, connection, and growth.

Whether under a tree or around a table, English learning here is hands-on, laughter-filled, and built on relationships.
In Cambodia, English opens doors. It gives our students the chance to land better jobs, engage with international guests, pursue higher education, and lead within their communities. At Khmer Hands, we see English not just as a subject, but as a stepping stone toward self-confidence and independence. Our classes aren’t built around tests or grades. They’re built around conversations—real ones, with laughter, mistakes, and those beautiful “a-ha!” moments when something finally clicks.
Whether we’re teaching under a mango tree, on the floor of a guest room, or in one of our makeshift outdoor classrooms, we meet students where they are—physically and personally. We focus on useful, practical English: hospitality phrases, customer service, basic business communication, health care vocabulary, and everyday conversation. We write our own curriculum, tweak lessons daily, and adapt based on each student’s progress and interest. Some students come just to learn a few key phrases for a job interview. Others stick around for months and end up helping teach the next class. And here's what we love most: the moment a student realizes they can explain something, tell a story, or welcome a guest in English... they light up. And so do we.
We’ve held class on patios, porches, and under palm trees. What matters most isn’t the walls—it’s the willingness to learn.
Our vision is to grow from conversation classes to career-ready communication, bringing more students along for the journey.
We're developing new lessons focused on medical, business, and tourism English to meet Cambodia’s growing needs.
