This program is run by the nonprofit organization Intercambio Uniting Communities and is an innovative way to connect volunteer English teachers with students via online, one-on-one English classes using the Confidence and Connections curriculum.
We are looking for volunteers to teach online classes to adult English language learners for 90-minute sessions twice (2x) a week for 6 months (with opportunities for breaks during the 6 months). Our goal is to connect English speakers wanting to make a difference with community members aspiring to learn English, regardless of location or other barriers to in-person classes.
What we offer...
The unique opportunity to volunteer online while building a cross-cultural relationship.
We provide a curriculum specifically designed for volunteer teachers to make teaching English enjoyable and accessible, even if you have no prior teaching experience. You will also learn about your student and their culture and share your own!
Our volunteers gain new experience and knowledge through access to various training, tools, and teaching resources. There are also many opportunities to connect, network, and share experiences with other volunteer teachers.
Our curriculum, Confidence and Connections, is best delivered twice (2x) per week, in 90-minute-long sessions, with at least one day in between.
If you are interested in teaching and are available twice a week, join us!

You don’t need to speak any other language besides English.
You don’t need prior teaching experience.
What you DO need...
Availability to meet with your student online twice a week and teach English using our Confidence and Connections books
