I joined ViE in 2022 as a volunteer. After a career spent teaching English I was keen to transfer my skills towards teaching ESOL. In 2023 I attended the 12 week course run by Brighton Council in teaching ESOL from absolute beginner level to Level 2. I was then in a position to take up the post of ESOL teacher to our resettlement clients. Many of our clients bring their pre-school children with them. We have two lovely child minders who enable mothers and fathers to focus on their learning in a warm and supportive environment. I also have assistance from four outstanding volunteers.
