Background
The SoCO English tutoring programme aims to promote high standards of literacy and oral skills by learning new vocabularies, encouraging English speaking, and also develop their interest in English through widespread reading. Tutors will provide weekly sessions for 12 weeks, based on their availability for students to practice and improve their English skills with a tutor through various ways such as casual chatting, homework guidance, English tutoring, reading newspapers etc. Each session lasts for 1 hour.
What we have
Provide different learning materials for tutor to refer. But still, the volunteer should customize their own based on its students needs.
Why this is important
As SoCO aims to provide help to underprivileged children and families, this project can provide more opportunities for underprivileged children to gain access to extra English tuition, improve their English literacy and oral skills through mentorship.

What we do
Work for dignity Society for Community Organization (SoCO) is a human rights advocacy group established in 1972, dedicated to serve the underprivileged community in Hong Kong. Working with limited resources, SoCO advocates for comprehensive social policy changes to ensure the protection of fundamental human rights of people in Hong Kong. Struggle for survival In the metropolitan city of Hong Kong, there are over 1.4 million people living in poverty. Over 200,000 residents live in urban slums, in squalid conditions that are inadequate for basic living with human dignity. These marginalized groups include caged home lodgers, families with children living in cramped wood-partitioned cubicles, sub-divided units’ households, new immigrants, homeless people as well as people with mental illness all struggling for survival.
