Question 1

Що таке волонтерське зобов’язання?

Accepted Answer

Tutoring: We ask tutors to commit to working with a student for at least six continuous months. This allows you to really get to know your learner and develop a good working relationship which greatly benefits a student’s capacity to learn and will be a more valuable experience for you as a volunteer.

Class Assistants: We ask for a commitment of 2 terms (approximately 6 months). Teaching any new class has an introductory period and it will take at least a term or two to feel confident with class and curriculum.
