Melbourne AMEP will provide you with free training online. You don’t need to be a teacher, speak another language or have any qualifications to become a tutor. To find out more, download the documents at the bottom of the page.
On completion of the training you will be matched with a Melbourne AMEP Learner who you will tutor one on one for 1-2 hours a week.

You will be provided with additional training and ongoing support from the Volunteer Tutor Scheme (VTS) Team throughout your involvement.
