Learn English at Home (LEAH) is a Voluntary
organisation, Registered Charity No 1057008, operating in Kingston and Richmond. We cater
for the needs of non-English speaking residents who, for various reasons,
are unable to attend classes.
Our next Tutor Training course starts September - apply now
HOW
DOES THE SCHEME WORK?
Each LEAH Tutor
has one student. The volunteer Tutor visits their student’s home once a week for
one to two hours; mainly during term-time as most of our students are women with
children both at home and at school.
For
some the requirement is very basic – shopping, money, doctors, public
transport etc.. for others, more advanced, possibly to help them move on
to college or work.
Our aim is
to enable the students to cope with daily life in this
country.
LEAH is run by a management committee which has
overall responsibility for the management of the Organisation.
The
administration of the Project and supervision of Volunteers is undertaken
by the Manager.
