ESOL Home Tutors

Every year, nearly 3000 ESOL home tutor volunteers teach English to adult refugees and migrants in New Zealand.

Tutors range from students to retired people and come from a diverse range of backgrounds.

Many are migrants themselves, and want to help others settle. Some are able to draw on their own settlement experiences, which may include learning English as a second language. Others have worked and lived overseas. There are also those who volunteer to learn more about other cultures without leaving New Zealand.
