Morning ESL Instructor for Basic or Level 2 students

Save to Favorites

The Tarrant Literacy Coalition has partnered with Agape Baptist Church and HOPE Literacy to try and help people learn English. Being able to speak, read and write in English are critical skills for people in order to see a doctor, seek meaningful employment, become citizens, and help their kids with homework (among many other things). If you have a desire to help your community members become fluent in English so that they and their families can thrive, I hope you will consider becoming an ESL instructor. You will be responsible for leading a small group of 2 - 6 students in lessons once a week at each class meeting. You will be expected to be able to make a commitment of at least a semester to ensure consistency for the students. You should also be creative and enthusiastic about teaching, willing to be silly at times and able to take learning seriously. Qualifications: You must know English! You do not need to speak Spanish or another language. In fact, it is best if you do not or at least don't let the students know that you know their native language. Your students will not necessarily be native Spanish speakers and more learning will occur if only English is spoken in the classroom. Learning a new language is tough, maybe you have first-hand experience. Trained or experienced teachers will be flexible in communicating their lessons to facilitate learning even to the most stubborn student. Training and materials will be made available to all incoming volunteer instructors. If you strongly desire to help, ESL at Agape is the place for you!
