"I've had a very good experience volunteering as an English teacher because I'm helping people"8/9/2025
HWR relies on volunteer teachers to deliver English lessons every week across the County. One of our local teams asked a local asylum seeker with a University teaching background to help out. He is now an integral part of our team and this is his feedback on his volunteering experience:
How does this volunteer teaching make you feel? I've had a very good experience volunteering as an English teacher because I'm helping people. I'm an asylum seeker myself, because not all asylum seekers are people who don't have education or and even if they don't, that doesn't mean we or they are bad people. I've heard their background stories and the majority comes from extremely difficult situations. Have the students given you any feedback that you would like to share? I think I've generally had good feedback on the classes, because people feel included and feel like they're learning English and integrating into society, even if it's little by little, because obviously learning a language is something that takes quite a while. Can you tell us about your favourite lesson that you have taught in England? My favorite lesson so far has been vocabulary and the use of disease words and to help people be able to talk to doctors when they have a health issue, even if it's just having a basic vocabulary about symptoms and diseases. HWR Volunteer Dave who has been assisting in the classes, gave the following feedback. 'He absolutely smashed it!' Comments are closed.
