New semester of English teaching – volunteers needed!

We have a great opportunity for those that speak English, native speakers and non-native speakers (at roughly C1 level) are welcome! Serve the City Kraków is looking for volunteers who could commit 90 minutes every other week to provide English conversation opportunities for a group of teachers and caregivers in the Special Purpose School and Education Center for intellectually challenged kids (SOS-W no 4 on H. Wietora Street [Kraków]) and its branch school (in Nowa Huta os. Zielone). If you are a native speaker or speak English at C1 level or above, if you want to give something back to people who on a regular basis pour their hearts out to help very challenged kids, if you have 90 minutes every second week to spare to get to know the dedicated staff and help them learn English, you are the right kind of person for the project! No prior experience of teaching or special qualification needed apart from what you feel your heart qualifies you to do.

Details:

  • Two levels in Wietora: beginner’s and pre-intermediate; pre-intermediate only os. Zielone  
  • English conversations are for the teachers, caregivers, administrative staff in the school (not kids, however other opportunities to volunteer with the kids are also available – ask, if you want to know more – info@servethecity.pl).
  • Groups around 10 people each
  • Classes:
  • SOSW 4 in Wietora: on Wednesdays – 90 minutes, from 16:00-17:30
  • Branch office in oś. Zielone on Thursdays – 90 minutes, from 16:00-17:30
  • English course has two segments (“classic” book course – already one certified teacher committed but anyone willing would be welcome as well; conversational – immersion in the natural language situations)
  • Conversational classes on a rotating basis – one week intermediate the next, beginner’s level
  • Commitment at least one semester
  • Number of teachers needed: the more, the merrier
