Volunteer Opportunities From: University of California, Riverside

Help students abroad interested in improving their conversational English though online interactions. We offer 3 different types of lessons including 1-on-1 lessons, 2-on-1 lessons, and planned lessons. The 1-on-1 lessons consist of casual daily conversations, cultural interactions, information about student-life, and others to help them utilize their English more often (Helps in improving their overall conversational skills). The 2-on-1 lessons consist of 2 students from our side having a casual daily conversation while the 1 international student listens to their conversation at a regular speaking speed (Helps in their listening comprehension skills and adapts to the way natives speak). The planned lessons are made up of articles the Material Team creates, which contain multiple choice and discussion questions (Aids the students with their reading comprehension and speaking abilities). All of these lessons will be held with a live calling application (ex: Google Meet, Zoom, other).
