Volunteer Tutor Programme

We are looking for volunteers who are interested in teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). As a volunteer you will give weekly lessons over a period of nine months to students who cannot attend community-based classes for reasons such as health, childcare or working hours. Teaching is on a one-to-one basis and you should be comfortable going into a student's home.

Rewarding Experience

This can be a very rewarding experience, making a real difference to someones life. The students you will teach are committed to learning English to improve their day-to-day life by helping them to understand bus timetables, food labels and newspapers, to enable them to help with their children’s homework or to help them find a job.

Training and Support

As a Volunteer Tutor, you will receive:

Initial training and follow up training days
ESOL teaching experience and references after 6 months' successful tutoring
Ongoing support from a qualified lecturer.

We are looking for people with good communication skills and an interest in language.

Teaching experience and bilingual skills are useful but not essential.

Information Sessions

We will be holidng information sessions on Friday 20 and Friday 27 January 2012.
