A
Volunteers Wanted
Description:
Children from low-income families or new arrivals have difficulties in learning English based on their growing backgrounds and financial problems. For most of them, tutoring (家教) that build self-confidence in speaking English is beyond their dreams. During the COVID-19 outbreak, a number of children’ have fallen behind with their studies.
We are calling for volunteers with high English proficiency (流利) to provide virtual tutoring lessons at Kwun Tong centre on Saturdays for children in Primary 4—6. These one-hour visual lessons will support them with practicing English conversations through storytelling and/or self decided topics. This activity will help primary school students to improve their English proficiency and confidence by communicating more in English.
Requirements:
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and they are required to be fluent in speaking both Chinese (Mandarin is more preferable) and English.
Volunteer roles:
● Volunteers will be working in a pair.
● Each volunteer pair will be working with the same group’ of children for 4 consecutive (连续) weeks.
● Practice English speaking with the children online.
All volunteers who attend this activity must be registered (登记) with HandsOn Hong Kong. If you wish to have a friend or family member join you in this activity, they must first register with HandsOn and sign up for the activity.
