English and Citizenship
We offer English learning in a classroom setting led by passionate teachers and volunteers! On an as-needed basis, we also offer one-on-one citizenship study and teaching. These are for clients with a higher English proficiency.
In addition to lessons, clients also have the opportunity to ask for help with employment, housing, education, health, and any other needs!
Method
English classes are divided into six small groups based on English level. No need for signing up! Anyone can walk in, take a test to match them with their English level, and begin learning. Students also get added to a WhatsApp group to stay updated. Our volunteers are trained prior to teaching, with any extra assistance provided by staff.
Recognizing that two or three times a week isn’t sufficient to learn a new language, we provide one-on-one tutoring for clients that ask for additional English lessons.
Citizenship studies are taught by volunteers who bring their own knowledge and materials. These volunteers are not only teachers, but also speak encouragement and confidence to make a big challenge feel all the more achievable and less intimidating.
Volunteer with us!
