Volunteering
Certified ESOL Home Tutor
I spent 6 months in 2023 working with a lovely Portuguese lady who spoke very basic English.
We worked through building her language capability and confidence in speaking English and built a strong relationship during this time.
Tutoring at this level required a lot of patience, creativity and time commitment and I found this to be very rewarding.
