We are looking for eager UWaterloo students willing to help language learners practice their English during classes!
The English Language Institute (ELI) Peer Helper program is your chance to meet new people from around the world while helping them practise their English! As a Peer Helper, you will join students during class-time for our General English at Renison (GEAR) program. GEAR helps students improve their English while experiencing Waterloo's unique innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
During the Winter term, our four-week GEAR program will be offered during the following dates:
- January 22 - February 16
- February 20 - March 15
You can choose to volunteer with us for one four-week session of GEAR, or you can volunteer for both sessions for an eight-week volunteer commitment. Your volunteer experience will consist of joining the students during their English language classes for approximately five hours per week. During classes, you will engage with the students during class activities and help them practise their English language skills. If you choose, you have the option of joining our students for fun events outside of class time, giving you even more chances to build your cross-cultural skills.
