A One Group
A-one Group is an English School/Course inspired by Mr. Kalend (the founder of the English village of Pare) who is our teacher.
From this inspiration, we finally asked for his prayers in establishing A-One Group in Pati City, Central Java in 2013.
We have been passing trials and tribulations,especially during pandemic. By remembering our vission and mission, we can survive today. Our missions are to give better education for all the people around us and to conserve or preserve the tradition, cultures, tourism as well.
Our teachers are professional tutors from Pare who have the ability to deliver material that is easy to understand and fun. So we believe that students will master the material FASTER and speak English. Therefore we have jargon "SURE UNDERSTANDING DEFINITELY HAPPY". In its development, A-one Group has established various collaborations with various institutions to improve quality together. We are committed to providing easy-to-understand English education, prioritizing the use of English in communication and providing character education to students.

About the experience in: Pati Regency, Indonesia
United States
Agus and his family were very welcoming and hospitable. They helped me to feel at home while giving me an amazing opportunity to immerse in local culture. Agus' vision for the future of the school is inspiring. He has really focused and put his heart into his community. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and his family and the students. I highly recommend this experience to other volunteers.

I loved the kids/students. They were really sweet and it was fun to teach and get to know them a little.
Agus and his wife Tika were also really friendly and made me feel welcome, but their 5-year-old daughter Arrumi was my favourite ;)
It was easy to create a schedule together and he let me decide how many classes I wanted to teach, so it was pretty flexible.
During the weekends we made some trips - I loved trying out Batik! Otherwise it’s pretty quiet during the day in between classes, so I would recommend it to everyone who’s good with being on their own and wants a break of hostel life.

I did the volunteering for 11 days. Wawan, Tika and the daughter Arrumi are an amazing, lovely, welcoming family! Wawan and Tika showed and explained me a lot about the indonesian culture. On free afternoons/evenings we did some trips to the mountains, to do some batik, ...
I also liked teaching the students. It's really interesting and varied. You teach students every age from 5 to ... Wawans school is great! Also all the teachers are welcoming and just awesome :)
Saying goodbye was hard. I enjoyed my time staying there a lot and I can definitely recommend it!!
Thanks for everything <3

I’m deeply grateful for the incredible experience I had while teaching kids in Pati with Wawan and his team. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and hospitality extended by Wawan, Tika and Arrumi was nothing short of extraordinary. Their genuine care made me feel welcome and at home.
The support and encouragement I received were truly inspiring. Their deep commitment to education and their genuine interest in my well-being made my time there not just productive, but deeply fulfilling. The kids are amazing!!
Thank you so much for being a part of my journey :)

I had a really great time in Pati! Agus and Tika are wonderful people and they made me feel very comfortable during my stay. The english lessons were fun! I created my own game and played it with the children and teenagers. Adults also came to the english class which was a nice change. Outside of the lessons Agus showed me some things in the neighborhood. I created my own batik pattern in a batik factory and we went to a beautiful lake with his family. Arrumi the little daughter is very sweet and smart. Thankyou Agus and Tika for the wonderful days with you, I really enjoyed it!
