Northern AMEP provides the Home Tutor Scheme. Under this
service, volunteer tutors help eligible adult migrants and refugees
who cannot attend regular English classes to learn English.
Tutoring usually takes place in the informal atmosphere of the
student's own home. Alternatively, volunteers may choose to assist
in the AMEP classrooms.
To be a volunteer tutor, you need to be able to speak and write
English well, relate to people from different cultural backgrounds
and spare a few hours a week. You don't need to speak another
language or be a teacher.
Northern AMEP will provide you with:
- an accredited training course that includes practical ideas to
help with your tutoring
- ongoing advice and support from professional staff
- regular newsletters, ongoing training and informal
get-togethers
- access to a variety of resources, including books and
tapes.
Volunteering as a tutor gives you the opportunity to develop new
skills, meet people from a wide range of backgrounds, learn about
other languages and cultures, and help migrants learn English and
become part of the Australian community.
