We are looking for volunteers to assist in our adult ESL classroom during the times listed below. Learners are at the beginning literacy level. Help is needed assisting the teachers, including but not limited to leading small groups of students in activities or games, monitoring classwork, demonstrating instruction, engaging in one-on-one conversation, and taking attendance. *Needed hours are M-Th 9-11, volunteers are free to choose which and how many days work best for them
We also are in need of tutors to engage in one-on-one instruction with our more advanced level students. As a tutor, you aren't required to adhere to a particular curriculum or prepare in advance. Most of our students want someone they can spend more time practicing conversational English or asking any lingering questions they have from their classes. A few occasionally want help with interview questions as they prepare for their Citizenship test. **We offer classes M-F morning, afternoon, and evening and are happy to try to work with the tutoring times you are available
