Guitar Tutor
Do you play the guitar? Music lessons are incredibly popular with the ladies at the Marylebone Project and we are currently looking for a talented musician to share their gift with our women.
Availability required:
We would be delighted to offer weekly small group tutoring sessions, taking place on a weekday or evening convenient for you.
To apply:
Please email a completed
application form to our Volunteer Coordinator at
volunteer@maryleboneproject.org.uk, outlining any previous experience of playing the guitar or music tuition. This opportunity is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) check and references.
Language Tutor (Italian or Spanish)
We would like to offer beginners level tutoring in either Spanish or Italian language to the ladies at the Marylebone Project. As a Volunteer Language Tutor, you would support our ladies to gain the confidence and basic skills required to speak, read and write in Italian or Spanish.
If you're confident in your use of either language, would be comfortable leading a weekly tutoring session for a small group of service users, and are interested in empowering homeless women to learn new skills, we'd be delighted to hear from you! Although previous tutoring experience is not essential, some experience of skill sharing may be beneficial.
The Marylebone Project will provide any resources required to deliver the tutoring and we reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for our volunteers.
To find out more about our language tutoring opportunities, please see the volunteer profiles for our

A regular two-hour tuition group each week. Many of our activities take place on weekdays, but we may be able to accommodate an evening or weekend tutoring session.
To apply:
Please email a completed application form to our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@maryleboneproject.org.uk, highlighting your preferred language and any experience of tutoring or skill sharing. This opportunity is subject to an enhanced Disclosure Barring Services (DBS) check and references.
