Provide English lessons to former refugees and immigrants. We will train you to work alongside learners, so you can provide them with the language skills and confidence necessary to integrate and participate in Kiwi life and culture. Usually the tutor meets with a learner in the learner's home although any other safe place may be used. It is likely that you will also interact with their family including children.
