During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
The ability to speak English can improve someone's life chances and those of their children enormously because they can get much better paid jobs.
If you can speak English fluently you can help people to improve their English quickly, just by talking to them.
We are looking for fluent English speakers who can help our students to practise their English online using applications such as Skype.
Every week our students study a lesson, do some exercises and then call English speakers to practise the language from the lesson.
It takes just a few minutes for them to say what they need to say and then you can have an unstructured conversation or ask them how to discuss what they said in English in their first language so that you can learn it (they might be Italian or Chinese for example).
You don't need to prepare before you speak or know what they are going to talk about. Just being your natural self is what will help them the most.
You meet them in a closed and monitored Facebook group initially and you can choose who you talk to and when you talk. They will finish the practice and say 'good bye' and not waste your time.
The topics are interesting and practical, often amusing, but never offensive.
Please help us to help English learners all over the world and make a few new friends at the same time.
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

To teach more people to speak English in considerably less time and for a lot less money.
Our downloadable courses are incredibly affordable and work with online social media like Facebook and Skype to faciiltate real practice with fluent and native speakers as an integral part of every single lesson.
Our materials were crowdsourced over 7 years and then professionally produced.
Our whole learning strategy is social and utilises online social media to bring people together.
We can offer anyone, anywhere, a super effective real practice English course for under a dollar an hour (and that includes paying for a seat in an internet cafe India or China).
We are looking for a regular supply of volunteers who have the following abilities:
1) They speak English fluenty
2) They are online
3) They can use Facebook, Skype and similar widely used social media platforms.
Volunteers will also have the opportunity to build their own on and offline English training business as we have inexpensive materials that any English speaker can use to teach English learners.
We'll work with your schedule.
This is a Virtual Opportunity, with no fixed address.
