Become a Volunteer Tutor

Our Volunteer Tutor Scheme is designed to help migrants and refugees who cannot attend our AMEP classes, or who need extra learning support.

Becoming a volunteer tutor means that you’ll have the opportunity to play a key role in supporting people who complete our Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP), helping them to develop their English skills and settle into life in Australia.

Anyone can support us as a tutor, even if your first language is not English, and teaching experience is not necessary.
