Tutor training

Would you like to

• Meet people from different countries and cultures?
• Learn new skills that can be used anywhere in the world?
• Have a great deal of fun?
• Do something worthwhile that will be appreciated?

No other qualifications required - just an interest in helping adult learners with English.

What do ESOL home tutors do? They assist adult learners to participate effectively in their community. Each ESOL home tutor works with a learner, giving regular help, usually for one hour a week, on a weekly basis, in the learner's home. 


Volunteers receive formal training to prepare them for their role. This training includes sessions on cultural awareness, different learning styles and needs, and teaching English in the context of everyday life.
