Our Mission

Our Mission

Our Mission

Our goal is to create accessible, socially inclusive communities - particularly for those who are isolated, vulnerable or disempowered. We want to provide a space where everyone can engage in activities that spur interaction, collaboration, and self-development. Together with charities and volunteers, we want to develop sustainable social and learning environments.

  Having been involved with teaching groups, we have witnessed first-hand the incredible impact these can have, and understand the need to make these activities more accessible to the community. That’s why we created Teach For Better. By partnering with charities and creating a network of volunteers with diverse skillets, we’re bringing more opportunities to people looking to learn, teach and build an inclusive community, together.

Our Team

Our Mission

Our Team

 Our amazing team of volunteers are skilled, passionate people with a real desire to help others. A diverse cohort of talented teachers, they bring the energy and expertise needed to create and conduct creative classes in fun and stimulating learning environments.

 ONLINE CLASSES

In-person classes are currently closed per government guidelines due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. However, our volunteers are still committed and working remotely. All classes and activities with Teach For Better take place online to continue to support our community. 


 LEND YOUR SUPPORT

Now more than ever we seek the help of new teacher volunteers to support our charities. The current pandemic and government restrictions have forced many to isolate, sometimes affecting physical and mental well-being. Our volunteers at Teach For Better provide a space to take people's minds off hardships to create an enjoyable class in the company of others. 

what we do

students of all ages

Find Talent

Anyone ready to share their skills with the world can apply on our website. No need to be a certified teacher to work with us. We are looking for talented people who have gained knowledge in a specific field through studies, personal or professional experiences. What we value most is motivation, dedication and strong willingness to make a positive impact in your communities. 

Match With Charities

Once we know more about you, our team will help match you with charity groups that look for motivated volunteers. The charity groups will have different focuses and we'll make sure to present you with the ones that fit with what you offer and where you are located. We will discuss your profile, skills, and personal goals and connect you with suitable charities.

Continuous Support

Our team will support you in getting your classes started. We manage timetables and can help setup special venues to teach in-person or virtually. We maintain regular communication with volunteers and charity groups to meet everyone's expectations.

what our students say about volunteers

"I was so happy when I heard Constantin was offering free guitar lessons.  Have always been wanting to learn this instrument but never had the courage to start. 
I applaud you for your patience and courage to take on a class of mainly seniors. 
For someone like me who knows nothing about the guitar, you have certainly explained things so clearly and taught us so much that I am enjoying the classes and the instrument.  I am sure with your guidance and encouragement and our perseverance we will  soon be happily strumming along.
Appreciate very much to be given the opportunity to learn a new skill especially during such challenging times of a lockdown.
Thank you for kindly giving up your time to teach us the guitar."

 "One evening a week I attend a very special French Conversation Class in the comfort of my home on my tablet or phone via Zoom (with my feet up and a coffee). Our volunteer teachers are a delightful couple, very skilled at managing the class so that we enjoy ourselves while making progress.

There is no book to study and no homework to do. The class has six members - and everyone is involved whatever their level. Zoom works really well for language learning – all the students look at the language points on the screen. Our teachers can write on the screen, which works like a transparent whiteboard. Every student is face-to-face with the teachers and with each other. It’s very different from a classroom, much more interactive – and good fun."

“I never played any musical instruments before, when I saw you were starting classes for beginners guitar lessons I was happy to learn. 

The first class was just enjoyable and relaxing, everyone was very friendly. 

Now looked forward for my next session. You’re a brilliant teacher! 

Thank You”

“ The French Conversation Classes are ideal if you can still remember a little French from your schooldays and wish to expand your knowledge so that you can take part in simple conversations; Constantin and Celine are wonderfully patient and encourage every attempt at speaking their language.

French Conversation on Zoom has proved to be fun and seeing everyone on screen certainly adds to the enjoyment of the class as we talk about everything from holidays to chocolate cake!"
