Lingo Regular Project

29/11/2024 - 29/11/2024

2:40pm - 4:20pm

Travel from Colchester campus

The Lingo Project is about teaching languages.

Currently we are only teaching French at a local primary school, but would love to teach Spanish as well, and any other language in which kids show an interest.

What will you get from volunteering for this project?

  • You get real teaching experience
  • A chance to work with school children 
  • Practice languages in a real life setting 
  • Meet like minded Essex students, making new friends and connections 
  • All travel arrangements and expenses covered
  • A reference from VTeam (subject to your performance) 

 

What do we need from volunteers?

  • We are looking for regular volunteers who can speak and understand French to a sufficient standard to be able to assist in teaching, and engage with school pupils who want to learn the language. You will have the chance to co-deliver the actual teaching if we are sure you have the necessary abilities.
  • Students who are enthusiastic about teaching and language, who can engage with school pupils 
  • Volunteers should be reliable and punctual, able to commit to at least 3 sessions a term.  

 

Register now to find out how to book onto sessions.

 

Sessions will start on Friday 8th November between 14:40 - 16:20 (including travel times). All travel expenses are covered by VTeam.

 

To take part in this project, you will need to register via GradIntel here.
