Tutors assist migrant students to learn speaking, reading and writing English, as well as establish important connections with the local community.
After completing their training, volunteer tutors assist migrant students on a one-on-one basis for around an hour each week. Sessions are usually held at a community location such as a library or in students’ homes. Many of the migrant students live in Hobart’s Northern suburbs, but also in other locations around Hobart.
