What is this service?

Could you offer a couple of hours a week to support someone learn English?

Where:

Teaching takes place across the Hounslow borough - often in the student's home or a suitable community location. Lessons can be online as well if you'd prefer.

When:

Lessons (for up to an hour) take place between Monday to Friday 9am till 5pm. You can choose a day and time that is convenient for you.

Skills needed:

  • A good level of spoken and written English

• Strong communication and organisational skills

• Patience to support our students who have a diverse range of educational backgrounds

• Previous experience in ESOL tutoring or teaching can be an advantage but is not required as full training is provided

Training:

LEAH runs six training courses a year (Feb, June, Sept and November)

The course is six weekly sessions (each session is between 2 and 2.5 hour

The course covers an introduction to the organisation as well as looking at how you structure and deliver lessons covering the 4 key areas – speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Once you start tutoring, regular ongoing support for volunteers will be provided by our experienced coordinator team.

For more information, look at our website and read our volunteer stories.
