Our programmes
TEEI connects people with learning, professional guidance and peer support. We also conduct research, publish policy work and build tools that help companies report their participation in our programmes.
Education
Our education programmes bring language learning, professional skills and career guidance together. Participants learn with teachers, practise with volunteers and draw on the experience of professionals in their field.
Courses, conversations and mentoring serve different purposes. Together, they give people more ways to continue their education and develop their careers.
Confidence grows through conversation.
TEEI Language gives adults a place to practise with approved volunteers, one to one and in small groups. Sessions focus on using a language in the conversations that matter at work, in education and in everyday life.
Between sessions, Practice Companion supports independent English practice through writing, listening and speaking activities built around everyday situations.
Structured learning. A teacher to guide it.
Our online language courses bring learners together with volunteer teachers. Regular lessons, shared learning materials and a course schedule provide a framework for developing language skills over time.
The courses complement conversation practice with teaching, coursework and guided learning.
Build the skills for what comes next.
Skills Academy combines self-paced courses with live workshops, classes and expert sessions. Participants develop professional skills, explore new fields and build on the experience they already have.
Learning resources include DataCamp and Google Career Certificates through Coursera. Participants can follow their progress and connect their learning with professional guidance through TEEI Mentorship.
Your questions. Someone else’s experience.
TEEI Mentorship connects participants with volunteer professionals for practical career guidance. Conversations can focus on a CV, an upcoming interview, a job search, a career change or development within a particular field.
Mentors share their experience. Participants bring the questions and goals they want to work on.
Our initiatives bring these programmes together for the communities they serve.
Since 2022, Together for Ukraine has brought together TEEI’s work for Ukrainians affected by the war, both in Ukraine and abroad. It connects today’s education and career-development programmes with a wider history of work for children, families, schools and universities.
20,000+ Ukrainians reached since 2022.
About Together for UkraineTEEI Women brings together our education and career-development programmes for women. Language learning, professional skills and mentoring support women pursuing further education, developing their careers or preparing for a different kind of work.
About TEEI Women
Oksana shares her experience of TEEI’s language programme.
Health Support
TEEI’s health work includes peer support for people affected by cancer and support for family members and informal caregivers.
A conversation with someone who has been through cancer.
One Connection offers one-to-one video peer support with someone who has experienced cancer, with the same diagnosis and similar treatment where possible.
It is a personal conversation with someone who brings their own experience of cancer. This is peer support, not therapy or a replacement for professional care.
Caregivers need support too.
Caregiver Support focuses on family and informal caregivers, bringing together support and evidence work that recognises their needs and experiences.
Research
TEEI Research examines education, health access, AI and impact measurement through the programmes we run.
Our research spans seven areas of enquiry, alongside dedicated learner-language research. We publish our findings so that others can examine the evidence, consider the conclusions and build on what we learn.
Advocacy & Policy
Our advocacy addresses the rights of children, girls, refugees and patients, alongside data protection and ESG reporting standards.
We develop and publish positions that set out the case for reform. Our contribution is through evidence, open-access educational material and clearly identified sources, making the reasoning behind each position available for scrutiny.
Compliance
Our Compliance programme provides tools that help companies understand and report their participation in TEEI programmes.
Reporting draws on programme activity, connecting an organisation’s contribution with the sessions and participation behind it.
Verified hours, this year Your team’s contribution, in one place.
Evenhall gives companies a shared workspace for employee participation and programme reporting. Teams can bring employees into TEEI programmes, follow their involvement and report recorded activity with the supporting evidence.
Companies remain responsible for their own disclosures. TEEI provides reporting tools, not an independent audit.
Our impact pages bring together programme activity, measurement methods and the record of earlier work.
For TEEI Language and TEEI Mentorship, the record includes completed sessions and conversation hours, with measurement dates alongside the figures. The methodology explains what is counted and how.

Language for Ukrainians platform is an amazing way to connect with people who speak English really
well, and just to practice each week. 30 minutes of oral practice will be great for your language.
I come to the lesson prepared. We discuss different topics. Many Ukrainians would like to
improve their business English, which makes sense, so we discuss different topics: remote working.
We discuss meetings, and how to hold a meeting in English, or how to present at a meeting. Watch
programs in English. You can always put the Ukrainian subtitles on, which really helps you
make the connection between your own language and the English language. Listen to podcasts, read books.
But there are many things that you can be doing day to day that will help improve your language skills,
and speaking English is really important in the, in the business world. Many companies use English as
their main language, because they are global. And if you are now living in a different country, looking
for a new job, working on your English skills is one of the best things that you can, you can do. I think
it's really important that you are practicing regularly, and I really enjoy meeting with my Ukrainian students
on a regular basis.
