Home / Become a tutor
Tutor a student, one hour a week.
An hour a week is enough to change how someone experiences a job interview, a doctor’s appointment or a parents’ evening. You do not need to be a teacher — you need to be willing to talk.

Sign up on EAL ConnectWhat tutoring involves
You meet one student online, at a time that suits you both, and work on whatever they need — conversation, homework, reading letters and forms, preparing for an interview.
We ask for about an hour a week. We keep the same tutor with the same student wherever we can, because consistency is what makes the difference.
What you get
- Service hours, counted from the sessions you log
- Your own page on the platform: messages, session booking and a video link each time
- A coordinator who checks in and can help if anything is not working
