Do you have 2 hours a week to help a new Kiwi?
Would you like to become a home tutor and teach English one-to-one to an adult refugee or migrant in their own home? You will help them settle into their community and participate in Kiwi life. We provide you with a 25 hour training course and ongoing support for your teaching role. The first course starts on 17th February, for 5 Fridays and 2 Saturdays. Volunteer now to help us make a real difference in your community and learn about other cultures along the way! Email us on bayofplenty@englishlanguage.org.nz for more information.
