Tutors work with students in a one-on-one environment and can choose to meet at ILI, out and about in the community, or online. As a tutor, you may find yourself acting as a mentor and helping your student practice daily survival skills, while supporting their adjustment to their new culture. You may answer questions that a student has about English skills, a class they are taking, or life in the US. Every student is different with different goals, but in general, you can expect to practice speaking, listening, conversation, reading and writing with your student. If you ever need further inspiration, the Volunteer Coordinator is happy to give you some ideas of what to work on depending on the student’s needs and goals.
