We know that speaking English is an important part of your new life in Kitchener-Waterloo. There are volunteers who want to meet one-on-one to help you practice your English.

How It Works: You and your volunteer will meet for 1-2 hours per week. The meetings can happen in-person (in a public place, like a coffee shop or library) or online. You will meet with the same volunteer for 4-6 months. 

You can talk about anything you like, life in Canada, family, education, sports, holidays, and life in general. Feel free to ask questions about the English language, living and working in Canada, meeting with children's teachers, attending a social or community event, or speaking with colleagues during breaks.
