About Volunteer English Tutoring Program

Spartans! Are you interested in becoming a tutor and conversation partner for an international student? Volunteer tutors act as conversation and discussion leaders in small groups ("classes") or one-on-one. Tutors act as guides to the language and culture of the U.S. You do not need to work through a textbook or assign homework. The VETP Director can give you ideas for topics to discuss or you can ask the students what they'd like to discuss. In the process, you will be modeling correct, naturally spoken English, and giving the student a chance to experience an authentic language exchange.
