Volunteer work experience · done properly
Because volunteer work experience should read like real experience.
What you’ll actually do: talk with one adult learner, 30 to 45 minutes a week, about work, interviews and everyday life. No lesson plans, no grading.
Conversation practice · not teachingMost voluntary work experience is a line with no proof. Yours will be logged, reviewed and signed.
Attendance is recorded in the platform session by session, TEEI staff review the record, and your statement carries a live verification link. That is how you turn volunteer experience for resume purposes into something a recruiter does not have to take your word for.

On your resume
A resume line that reads like real work.
Volunteer experience for resume purposes only helps if you can be specific. Give yourself a real title, name the organisation, and add one line on what you actually did, with a number you can prove.

Questions people ask before they start.
Does this count as work experience on my resume?
List it the way you would any role: title, organisation, what you did, and verified hours. Whether a specific employer or school counts it as work experience is their call; what you get is a record that documents exactly what you did and when.
How do I list it on my resume?
Give yourself a real title (Volunteer Conversation Partner, not just "volunteer"), name the organisation, and add one line on what you did with a number if you can: hours, sessions, or people helped.
Will anyone actually verify it?
Your statement carries a public verification link. Anyone checking your resume, from a recruiter to a hiring manager, can see the record for themselves.
Do I need experience to start?
No teaching background or experience needed. Fluent English and showing up consistently are what matter.
Is there any cost?
No. Volunteering with TEEI is free, and so is the verified hours statement.
