RECRUITING TUTORS FOR AEM NEXT ACADEMICTERM

VOLUNTEER TUTORS NEEDED

United Migrant Workers Education Project (UMWEP) is looking for volunteer tutors to deliver its Alternative Education Model (AEM). We welcome experienced ESOL and ICT Tutors/Assistant Tutors, but also those with an interest in non-formal adult education. You don’t need a teaching qualification to join our project, but we require you have a good standard of the subject you want to teach.

The program is open to all volunteers whether you are at university, someone wanting to gain some teaching experience in an informal setting or someone who simply wants to contribute part of her/his spare time supporting migrant workers. If you are willing to share your knowledge and skills with migrant and vulnerable workers, this is a great opportunity to do so.

We concentrate on ESOL and ICT but also organise courses on Art, workshops on health rights and grassroots activities on labour rights. If you have new ideas and proposals we will be happy to hear about them.

The Alternative Education Model is made of volunteers from different backgrounds as we welcome diversity and equal opportunities. Our tutors are committed to the AEM because of their social awareness and sense of solidarity with those who have been excluded from mainstream education.

If you believe in social justice and you think that another world is possible by contributing a few hours a week to adult education, then you will fit into our education and pedagogical philosophy. This volunteer position will give you the opportunity to enhance the learning experience and the future prospects of disadvantaged adults in London.

Here is what some of our Tutors have said:

“The learners are really nice and friendly and they make you feel very welcomed. They are very interested in learning, that’s why they spend their day off at the Alternative Education Model project, even though many of them work long hours doing tiring manual jobs”.

“I have lots of fun during the class and I can see that the learners really appreciate my work”.

“I am very interested in alternative types of education and the AEM is a great project to experience and to experiment”.

Our project is based in Holborn, central London, and the working days are Saturdays and Sundays, though sometimes we call for tutors’ meetings on Sundays as well. Reasonable travel costs will be provided.

If you are willing to take up the challenge and to commit a minimum of 2 hours per week during 15 weeks to the Alternative Education Model, please contact Carlos Cruz:
