Steps to tutor our international students:
-
Save your assigned student's phone number on your personal mobile device through WhatsApp. When you add a "new contact" on WhatsApp, you need to choose the country (for example, if you choose Brazil, you get +55 ________ code before their number, like +55 92 8603 2992)
-
Text your student directly to reschedule or resolve any issues if necessary. Let us know if there are any changes with your schedule. Every schedule conflict has been solved through organizing a session at a different date and/or time when both the teacher and student are available.
-
Use or download Google Translate to translate English to your student's language - this allows for effective communication with your student. (for instance, Brazil's primary language is Portuguese)
-
Send a screenshot of your session so we can confirm it occurred each week. Take the picture at the beginning of your session to ensure you don't forget. post the screenshot of your session.
-
If your student can’t speak English well or has to study the alphabet, try to gauge their English knowledge and go from there. Please make sure to speak loudly, clearly, and slowly. This is crucial to helping with basic English, especially for international students.
-
Take a screenshot during each session with you and your student and email it to Freetutoring@americanassimilationhelpline.org. We use this to confirm your session took place for two volunteer hours.
