Paper Airplanes is a U.S.-registered nonprofit organization that provides free online language tutoring and skills-based learning opportunities for individuals whose education and career pathways have been disrupted by conflict. Our English Program connects students with volunteer tutors for an 18-week semester delivered online through video conferencing platforms.

As a volunteer English tutor, you may be matched with one student for 1-on-1 tutoring or with a small group of students for speaking classes. Tutors use Paper Airplanes’ guided curriculum, which is simple, structured, and easy to follow. No formal teaching experience is required.

  • Supporting learners with English speaking, listening, reading, writing, and confidence-building
  • Using the provided curriculum and lesson materials
  • Communicating consistently and respectfully with your student and Paper Airplanes team
  • Completing the required online tutor training before the semester begins

We are looking for volunteers who are:

  • 18 years old or older
  • Comfortable communicating in English
  • Reliable, patient, respectful, and open-minded
  • Able to commit for the semester
  • Interested in supporting conflict-affected learners through education
  • Able to meet online with a stable internet connection

Volunteer benefits include:

  • Fully remote and flexible volunteering
  • A low weekly time commitment of around 2–2.5 hours
  • Simple, ready-to-use curriculum materials
  • Tutor training before starting
  • Ongoing support from program facilitators
  • A meaningful opportunity to support conflict-affected learners
  • Hours verification letter at the end of the semester
