If you want to improve your spoken English but can't afford expensive tutors, ENGin can help!

 

ENGin pairs young Ukrainians with English speakers across the world for weekly online speaking practice. We want to help you speak English with confidence and interact with people from other cultures, helping you access better academic opportunities and jobs.

 

Here's what our program offers:

​

• Practice speaking English from home: Your speaking buddy will video chat you each week at a convenient time.

• Connect with peers across the globe: The opportunity for intercultural exchange is one of the best aspects of our program. 

• Improve your English for free: As a nonprofit initiative, we do not charge our learners for our services. 

• Get support from the ENGin team: Our team provides materials for your speaking sessions and ongoing support for any issues you have  throughout the program.

​

Program Duration: Our program duration is 1 year. After 1 year you will be automatically classified as an ENGin alumnus: you will continue to receive program emails and have access to our Telegram chats and communities, online events, and challenges. You can also continue meeting with your volunteer for as long as the volunteer is interested, but we cannot provide individualized customer support or replace your volunteer once they are no longer able to meet with you. 

​​

ENGin has 4 main criteria for learners:

 

1. Age: You should be 10-35 years old

2. English level: You must have studied English and be comfortable with grammar and vocabulary. Lower-level students may be temporarily matched to a Ukrainian volunteer who is fluent in English until they are ready to practice with a volunteer from abroad. 

3. Commitment: You should be ready to dedicate 1-2 hours a week to ENGin for a minimum of10-12 weeks.

4. Nationality/Location: We are working with Ukrainian students, including those living in Ukraine and those who left Ukraine recently due to the war. For security reasons, we are not able to work with students currently located in Russia, Belarus, or occupied Crimea.
