GOTAFE
6 weeks
Become a volunteer English tutor for adult migrants. This 6-week training program equips community members with the skills to support English language learners from diverse backgrounds, combining weekly online training sessions with ongoing tutoring commitment.
Applicants must be proficient in spoken and written English, reliable and punctual, and demonstrate empathy and ability to communicate with people from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. A current National Police Check with no disclosable outcomes and a current Working with Children's Check are required. Participants must have access to a laptop/computer with internet access, a digital camera or video camera for assessment tasks, and general stationery.
The program covers volunteer tutor training through weekly online sessions held Wednesday evenings from 5:30pm to 8pm. Participants learn to support English language learners in conversation practice and community engagement. The curriculum includes professional development in working with learners from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, meeting learners at mutually convenient locations (GOTAFE Library, public settings, or online platforms), respecting learner rights and privacy, and ongoing professional development through the Volunteer Tutor Scheme.
GOTAFE is a registered training organisation (RTO 3094) in Northern Victoria with extensive experience in education and community programs. The institution offers comprehensive student support services including learning support, counselling, disability support, and access to library resources. GOTAFE's commitment to diversity and inclusion, combined with established partnerships in adult migrant education, makes it well-positioned to deliver quality volunteer tutor training.
Upon completion, volunteers become trained tutors supporting adult migrants in English language development and community integration. This role contributes to community cohesion and provides meaningful volunteer experience. Participants may progress to further education roles, community development positions, or continue as active volunteers in the AMEP program. The experience builds skills in cross-cultural communication, teaching, and community engagement.
