For organisations and public services supporting Ukrainians
Two free programmes for the Ukrainians you support.
A volunteer to practise the language with every week, and a mentor from their own field to help restart a career. We run both programmes, they are free, and you can share them directly with anyone you support.

The programmes
Language practice with volunteers. Career mentoring from professionals.
Programme 01 · Conversation practice · Free
TEEI Language
Your participant chooses a volunteer who speaks the language they are learning, and sends them a request. They meet on video and talk: everyday conversation at the participant's level, about work, daily life and whatever they need the language for. The goal is spoken confidence, for phone calls, appointments and conversations at work.
+A standing weekly 30 to 45 minute video session with the same volunteer+Any language a volunteer speaks · no grades, no tests, nothing to prepare+Volunteers are everyday speakers of the language, reviewed by our staff; they are not teachers
Your participant chooses an experienced professional from their own field and sends them a request. In 1:1 video sessions, scheduled one at a time when it suits them both, they work on concrete career steps: the CV, interview preparation, and a plan for getting back into their profession in a new country.
+Eight fields: entrepreneurship, tech, marketing, business, design, finance and more+Help with the CV, interviews, salary expectations and how the local job market works+Mentors are working professionals, reviewed by our staff before they meet anyone
In a chat, an email, or printed on the wall. The same link works for everyone you support.
2They choose their person
An email address is enough to sign up. Then they browse the volunteers and mentors themselves: real people with names and faces, filtered by language and level, or by career field.
3They meet on video
They request a time and the volunteer or mentor accepts. Language runs as a standing weekly session with the same volunteer; mentoring sessions are scheduled one at a time. Our staff review every volunteer and mentor application first.
No agreement. You never need to ask us first.No tracking work. You never need to log, count, or report anything yourself.No cost. TEEI covers everything.
What you get back
Without tracking anything yourself, you can see whether sharing the link led to signups, bookings, and completed sessions.

“The teachers became friends over 1.5 years of learning. Having real conversations is so much better than just studying from a textbook.”

Who to send
Who the programmes are for.
TEEI Language
For people who need to practise speaking.
Adults who are learning a language and rarely get to use it. Many understand a lot but freeze when they have to speak; a volunteer partner gives them steady practice at their level, in the language they need for daily life and work.
TEEI Mentorship
For professionals rebuilding a career.
Adults with work experience from Ukraine: engineers, accountants, designers, any of the eight fields. They get a mentor who works in their profession, for help with the CV, interviews and finding their way into the local job market.
Both programmes
Many participants use both.
Someone who has just arrived can begin with conversation practice and add a mentor when they are ready to look for work. Everything is online, for adults, and all they need is an email address, a device and internet.
An honest note
There are more learners than volunteers. When volunteers are scarce, your participant may wait before someone accepts their request. And if someone needs urgent legal, housing or medical help, that comes first; these programmes are not an emergency channel.
Two ways to share
Send a ready-made message, or print the page.
Copy the message and send it as it is: it comes in English and Ukrainian, and the link is already in it. Or print this page; it becomes a single sheet with both QR codes, ready for a noticeboard or a welcome folder.
Ready message · paste into WhatsApp or email
