If you are selected as an ESOL volunteer

You will be invited to a mandatory group induction where you will get a lot of useful information:

  • an intro’ to KiwiClass history, mission values, our client group
  • the practical aspects = role description and teaching tip guidelines
  • do’s and don’ts
  • relevant, important policy documents:-  Confidentiality Agreement, Code of Conduct, Duty of Care and Boundaries, Outreach and Vehicles, Child Protection & Safety, Values and Approach, Health and Safety Checklist and reporting lines
  • Usually, the invitation to Induction has been 2 hours on a weekday evening 5-7 pm

Compulsory Attendance at the Induction is NOT A GUARANTEE ( of a match / volunteer-class placement.) There are many factors to consider. A placement is based on mutual availability, the teacher’s decision of their needs and those of their students.

 What type of training does KiwiClass provide?

  • During the volunteer induction you will learn the ESOL classroom guidelines, as well as teaching tips and ways to work well with KiwiClass learners.
  • There is usually a Peer to Peer Support Group meeting where some training or a speaker presentation is provided. 
  • We hold a thank-you gathering for all volunteers at the end of each semester during National Volunteers Week in June and again in early December.
  •  Also, Volunteers are welcome and encouraged to attend the two Students’ End of Semester Celebration and certificate presentations in June and December.
