Our Story
How it all started.
Our non-profit, Bye Bye Anxiety, started as a COVID relief program donating essential supplies to nursing homes in the Jakarta-Tangerang, Indonesia 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.

Hear it from the students.
Once a week, volunteers set aside an hour to teach English. They open their laptop and greet their buddy "Hello". For the next hour the conversation doesn't stop. Volunteers go over grammar, speech, pronunciation, and teach the students to not feel anxious when speaking in English. For that, Bye Bye Anxiety is thankful to the volunteers for their help and the impact they are making in every student's lives.
