Welcome to Vanderbilt-Pakistan Connection!
Vanderbilt-Pakistan Connection (or VanPak, for short) is an organization dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and bridging of cultures. The main goal of VanPak is to teach English to bright and eager students in Pakistan, but often times, the Pakistani students teach our own teachers important ideas about their culture and lifestyles. The connections formed in this organization are connections that span many miles and, we hope, many years.

For Teachers:
Remember that lessons and assignments are all located on an alternate webpage. You should have received the URL to this page during training, and a copy should be in your email. If you are unable to access the page, please email: [email protected]
If you are interested in volunteering to teach a class, please send an inquiry to [email protected]. Each class is taught by two Vanderbilt students. Classes meet once per week for 45 minutes at an assigned time between the hours of 10PM and 8AM CT. Teachers may choose to teach together or rotate weeks, so time commitment will vary between two and four 45 minute sessions per month. Teachers may choose to design their own lessons or use lessons provided on the teacher's webpage. The URL to this site will be provided to you during training.
