The training courses runs twice a year approximately 16 hours in course plus self-study. In 2026 training will be in February and May.
Once trained, a commitment of one hour per week for six months is preferred.
Lessons can take an hour or more to plan so total time a volunteer may need could be 2 or 3 hours a week.
Volunteers will learn how to tutor their learner in the 4 key English skill areas of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, as well as how to build vocabulary.
