Impact Statement The K-W Multicultural Centre exists to foster the diversity which exists in this community. Volunteers help to break down barriers to full participation of new Canadians in the Kitchener-Waterloo Community and surrounding areas.

Description We are especially looking for volunteers who speak English and Arabic to provide English tutoring skills to Arabic-speaking newcomers
Volunteers support a second language learner in improving their skills in English, especially conversational skills for everyday living in Canada. Tutors come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and play a major role in helping their learners feel comfortable in their second language, and in Canada in general. The learner can ask the volunteer questions about the many aspects of living and working in Canada.
Volunteers are matched with a newcomer and meet once a week for 1-2 hours for a period of 4 - 6 months. At this time, meetings are taking place virtually. We recommend using Whatsapp video conferencing for tutoring meetings.
Volunteer tutors should have relatively strong English language skills (especially spoken English) as well as spoken Arabic language skills.
