A good education. A very good command of the language. And most importantly knowing teaching methods.
Just reading to someone will not teach a person English.
If the other person cannot see the book, it will be totally useless.
Full disclosure: I have worked as a tutor/special needs helper/worked with the local reading program for a bit. Also attempted to teach someone English. That one was almost impossible and that was in person.
If you really want to help, contact your local English as a second language group.
