Teaching English as a second / foreign language

Calling international students and researchers to help tackle educational disadvantage! Immigrant pupils are more likely to underachieve and to be unemployed when leave school. We organise innovative, cross-curricular workshops in schools to help immigrant pupils reach their full potential by meeting role-models.

We’re looking for volunteers to teach basic English to classes of up to 15 adults. Classes are informal and focus on spoken English and building confidence. This opportunity is open to anyone who would like to make a difference in the lives of those with little or no English- no prior teaching experience needed and full training is provided.

You could make a huge difference to the life of a lonely older person if you have just an hour or so to spare each week.

We are looking for caring, reliable people to visit isolated Bangladeshi Elders living in the Holborn area; providing company, friendship and a link to the wider community.

Could this be you?

VOLUNTEER TUTORS NEEDED

You don’t need a teaching qualification to join our project, but we require you have a good standard of the subject you want to teach.

Stories from around the world in one website. Free for all that want to enjoy cultural stories from the 15 languages that are most spoken in the UK.

Training Link needs enthusiastic volunteers to be literacy tutors once a week for about an hour for at least 3 months. Our project helps learners develop their reading, writing, spelling and grammar. Volunteer tutors meet their learner weekly: time and venue to be agreed (not in someone’s home).

We pay reasonable travel expenses and provide materials. Support for volunteers: review meetings and guidance on teaching materials.

No previous mentoring or tutoring experience necessary, just be patient, supportive and positive.

Do you have an excellent level of written English and a genuine interest in supporting a small, almost entirely volunteer-run charity that provides services to newly settled communities in the capital? Then this volunteer role might be for you!

We provide free confidential advice, information and support.

Our vision is of an increasingly self-confident community that works locally for economic progress and social justice; of a community service that moves beyond citizen information and advice to enablement and empowerment, that is responsive to the diverse needs and aspirations of the people it serves, and that communicates effectively and efficiently; a service that puts community problem-solving at its heart.

CARIS Camden Families is a small charity that supports homeless families living in hostels in the Borough of Camden in central London. We offer a range of play and learning opportunities to children resident in Camden hostels, to try and mitigate some of the disadvantage that comes with living in overcrowded, under-resourced and insecure accommodation.
