English for All: Join us to teach English to asylum seekers

Are you an English speaker looking for an opportunity to build your teaching skills, and become part of a committed and kind community? Join us to spend time having interesting conversations and laughing about English grammar with our amazing, brave students. Our classes at the Leiden AZC (Asielzoekerscentrum, Asylum Seeker Center) on Tuesdays and Thursdays (10:45-12:30). We also hold classes in Wassenaar, Leiderdorp, Rotterdam and Den Haag. The classes are as much community-building as English learning, with snacks and a wonderful vibe. You do not need to have teaching experience to volunteer, but you do need to be fluent in English such that you can correct grammar and pronunciation. Join us!

Work
You join a volunteer team in the classroom helping students learn English. If you want, you can lead/teach classes.

Who are you?
Our volunteers are fluent English speakers from all over the world, with a wide range of professional backgrounds. If like to work with teams of like-minded people and are interested in supporting asylum seekers during this part of their journey, helping to build useful and transferrable skills, then please join us. Teaching experience is not required, but welcomed!

We offer
An opportunity to connect with a diverse and warm community where you can feel the value of your time spent helping others. You will learn about our model, which brings together a blend of relevant teaching approaches, and design and deliver classes your self--if you want!

Time requirement
Volunteers sign up for classes when they would like to join, ideally once a week. We hold volunteer meetings every quarter, and periodic topic-based trainings that volunteers are encouraged to attend.

Interested?
Please see our website: https://www.english-for-all.org/. Your first step is to sign up for an introduction call, which you can do on the 'For Volunteers' page. We hope to meet you there soon!
