Professors Without Borders

Qui sommes nous

Instead of students traveling out to learn, we bring professors in to teach.

Students everywhere have potential

It is not dependent on social background, economic status, or location. A good teacher draws that potential out and transforms it into a force of nature. Good teaching begins with treating students respectfully, stimulating their interests through relevant and engaging activities, and making sure they develop skills that prepare them for the realities of the job market.

For students

We focus on skills-building courses to help prepare students to be high-achieving contributors to society. Our global network of talented educators are specialists in their fields and excited to share their love for learning with their students.

For educators

We train educators abroad in the latest teaching methods, education technology, and ways to engage students. Local teachers return to their classrooms with fresh skills and confidence, while our visiting professors bring home new perspectives of their own.

A word from our CEO & Co-founder

Pourquoi ai-je créé Professeurs Sans Frontières ?

Lorsque je travaillais à l’école d’été de la London School of Economics, j’ai réalisé que l’enseignement de qualité attirait fortement les étudiants internationaux, mais ne bénéficiait qu’à très peu de personnes capables de se le permettre.

J’ai aussi été témoin de l’effet remarquable que des enseignants de qualité, des pairs motivés et des idées nouvelles produisaient sur chaque étudiant dans la salle.

Our approach was to reverse this model.

Instead of students traveling out to learn, we bring professors in to teach.

Le mot du président

What our charity is doing is ambitious as well as important.

Professors Without Borders is modernising education and inspiring change where it is needed the most. We work to improve teacher mobility around the world so that every student can experience a dedicated, professional and inspiring learning environment that will fire them up for their next stages in life. We empower students to confidently engage with the world and make it a better place, starting with their immediate environment.

Chaque pays a besoin de talents pour progresser, et ces talents doivent pouvoir s’épanouir localement. Si nous ne pouvons pas inverser la fuite des cerveaux, nous pouvons en revanche cibler les talents locaux et contribuer à leur développement académique et professionnel grâce au renforcement des capacités.

Founded in 2016

Professors Without Borders was co-founded by Dr Caroline Varin, barrister Majeks Walker and Tessy Antony de Nassau.
