The all-volunteer Teachers for Ukraine initiative connects English language teachers and speaking partners from around the world with adult Ukrainians affected by the war for one hour per week of free, one-on-one, online language instruction, practice, and moral support. Each volunteer is paired with an adult Ukrainian student for individualized online lessons. All teachers are responsible for assessing their students’ needs and for preparing appropriate teaching materials. Our goal is to use our knowledge and skills as English language educators to help Ukrainians in need and to show our support for Ukraine. Please note that we are not a formal organization, but an informal volunteer teacher initiative run by one teacher, Kalina Papadimitriou in Canada, with the support of Dr. Marty Pilott in New Zealand. Together, we are an informal international community of hundreds of volunteer teachers supporting Ukraine. We do not have any funding and we do not accept any donations. We stand with Ukraine. We stand for peace. Our students are adult Ukrainians affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine - both refugees and Ukrainians still living in Ukraine. Most of our students are well educated professionals at various levels of English language proficiency, from Pre Intermediate to Upper Intermediate level. They are journalists, teachers, artists, lawyers, doctors, architects, managers, accountants, IT specialists, academics, economists, scientists, engineers, university students, etc. - wonderful people and motivated learners from all walks of life. We only offer online lessons to adult students – no children or minors. Between April, 2022 and September, 2023, we have registered and paired with teachers more than 1,000 adult Ukrainians.
