Tutoring Volunteer Programs Abroad

Volunteering abroad as a tutor will give you the opportunity to change, shape, and morph the educational lives of others. Many tutoring volunteer programs place volunteers directly with local students and teachers in classrooms; as a tutoring volunteer, individuals will have the chance to work with students one-on-one without the influence and distractions of other kids, which is beneficial for both students and tutors. 

Tutor volunteering with kids in a private setting allows volunteers to work individually with students and really hone in on areas they are struggling in; this can mean helping a student with homework in all subjects and developing practical studying methods or being a specific tutor for math class. One of the great things about being a volunteer tutor abroad is that you’ll have the rare opportunity to really change your students and make a big difference for them on an individual level.

Now, why become a volunteer tutor abroad when you can do all this at home? Different countries each have their own education systems and structures; especially if you want to someday get involved in education, you should broaden your tutoring horizons as much as possible. Even if you merely just want to build your resume, employers will favor you over the competition because you have experience abroad. In other words, you’ve had exposure to other cultures, stepped out of your comfort zone, and did something not everyone can do.
