Language Mentor For Adults

Language mentors for adults meet virtually or speak on the phone on a weekly basis, for up to one hour, to help them increase their French fluency and boost their confidence for the job market and workplace. As a language mentor for adults, you will support an adult who may be new to Montreal, is seeking employment or preparing to write government citizenship exams, by practicing conversational French. Scheduling is to be confirmed between the mentor and client once a match is made. Volunteers should be fluent in French, and at least one other language from English, Hebrew, Russian or Ukrainian.

Academic / Language Mentor For Students

Academic and language mentors meet with elementary or high school students on a weekly basis, for up to one hour, usually at the family home, to help students develop and improve their English and/or French language skills, tutor them in a specific academic subject, help with homework and act as a role model for their students. Mentors motivate students by providing a fun and safe space for students to learn and grow. While most students require in-person meetings, there are sometimes virtual opportunities available. The expected commitment is a minimum of three months with the possibility of longer. This is not a one-size-fits-all program, and the needs fluctuate from student to student. Scheduling is to be confirmed between the mentor and family once a match is made. Volunteers should be fluent in English or French, and at least one other language from English, French, Hebrew, Russian or Ukrainian.
