Participating in online training, flexible arrangements,

The conversation club takes place once a week. Some volunteer tutors join every week, others only every second or third. We will have a rota system in place depending on availability and interest. 

Every tutor has a table of learners (usually between 3-5 people). The tutor will be guided through Failte Isteach training and materials but is welcome to introduce their own ideas. Learning should be informal, flexible, tailored, and fun.

As a team we are organising different themes for special days e.g. St. Patrick's day to learn about Irish music and cultures, our International Potluck dinner is always a big hit. No pressure to take part in these events but participation is welcome.
