Tutor English and help a migrant learner gain the skills and confidence they need to settle successfully in Aotearoa New Zealand.
With over 1,000 volunteers tutoring our learners in English in their own homes across the country, you’re in good company. You might be surprised to hear that our volunteers often tell us that they get just as much out of tutoring as their learners do!
“Being part of the volunteering experience has been great! I have definitely gained a lot of experience and personal development through this process. Plus, I am glad that I had the opportunity to enrich someone else's life.”
