Student 1

The communication in English was a barrier because having no English in an English country, it's so difficult.

Student 2

My English was zero. I didn’t know anyone. I was really keen to learn the language.

Because of the language, I couldn't participate or do as much as I want.

It makes a difference when you feel you are a part of this society.

Student 1

Not having strong English can make us feel alone or isolated.

Improving my English was also important to be able to make friends in Australia and communicate with the community.

Having an access to an app, it would be a great opportunity so they can study English on their free time, say at home.

Student 2

Definitely will be useful. People they can use it in their extra time or they're in the train or on the bus, even.

Student 3

The app makes me more comfortable to speak English.

Student 1

Once you learn the language in Australia, you gain many opportunities.

Being able to communicate with others, finding jobs.

Student 2

I really encourage them to learn the language and then that makes them feel confidence, are proud of themselves and connected.

Student 1

If I didn't improve my English, I wouldn't be able at where I am now entering university and now working on my dream job career.

Having the language makes the life better, easier and more fun.

The AMEP Volunteer Tutor Scheme (VTS) is an important part of the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP).

The VTS helps students in the AMEP with language. A trained volunteer works under the VTS, usually on a one-to-one basis, for around one to two hours per week.

We have developed free resources for volunteer tutors. You can access these resources easily and freely at ​AMEPOnline.
