Many children in rural areas find it hard to learn English, including children in Jorong Paninggiran Bawah, Nagri Nan Limo, Kecamatan Palupuh, Kabupaten Agam. Most of them only learn English at school and rarely use it in daily life, so they feel less confident speaking English. This activity aimed to help elementary school children improve their basic English skills through tutoring at Masjid A-Taqwa, Jorong Paninggiran Bawah. The method used was Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), which helps children learn English by practicing real communication. Around 8 to 10 children joined this activity. The tutoring was held in two sessions. The first session taught greetings and introductions, and the second session taught feelings and expressions. The results showed that after joining the tutoring, children became more confident and brave to use English in their daily lives. They were willing to practice simple English words and sentences. This activity shows that a mosque can be a good place for non-formal learning in rural areas. It is concluded that CLT-based tutoring can help children feel more confident in using English every day.
