Volunteering in language courses
Would you like to volunteer to teach adults French, English, Spanish or Portuguese, in a spirit of mutual aid and knowledge sharing? We are constantly looking to expand our team. Here are the available positions:
​
-
Teacher - the teacher plans the lessons, using the course programme and adapting it to the lesson format (in person or online).
-
Assistant - the assistant supports the teacher by taking charge of the technological and logistical aspects of the classroom. In collaboration with the teacher, they divide the class into small groups, share the teacher's screen, annotate or write on the whiteboard, complete the attendance list, send out class reports, and so on.
-
Co-teacher - two people jointly plan and facilitate the classes.
For these positions, we ask for a commitment of 3 hours per week for 6 weeks for French and English courses, and 3 months for Spanish and Portuguese courses. Other volunteer positions are available if you're not sure you'll be able to guarantee your schedule for the whole duration of the course.
-
Monitor - two people jointly facilitate the conversation workshops.
​
For this position, the commitment is 1 hour per week over 6 weeks for French and English and 1 hour per week for 3 months for Spanish and Portuguese.
