Over the shoulder of a volunteer during a one-to-one video session

An hour of conversation in your language.

Your company set aside the hour. This is where you give it: one-to-one conversation practice with a learner rebuilding her life, in a language you already speak.

Because an hour of what you already speak can open a new country.

A volunteer at home during a one-to-one video call

What you’ll actually do: talk with one learner, 30 to 45 minutes a week, about work, interviews and everyday life. No lesson plans, no grading.

Conversation practice · not teaching

The learner brings the goal. You bring the language.

A session is 30 to 45 minutes on video: work, interviews, everyday life. You open the times that suit you, learners book into them, and staff talk with every volunteer before the first session.

Attendance is logged in the platform session by session. Scheduling, the video room and your running total live in one place: one login, nothing to install.

Know that the hour lands where it should.

Behind every session is a learner getting ready for work, school and everyday life in a new language. 8,000+ learners have practised with TEEI.
