ESOL Tutor - Alexandria

Save to Favorites

The ESOL Tutoring Program is a one-on-one program for adults who need help with speaking and understanding English, as well as reading and writing. Students enrolled in this program represent over 73 countries from all regions of the world. They often have even lower-level English skills than those in classroom-based programs. Each student is taught by a volunteer tutor, who provides the student with specialized instruction, allowing the student to progress at his or her own pace and toward his or her individual goals. This program provides a wonderful volunteer opportunity for people who want to teach an adult student individually rather than in a group situation. Each tutor is matched with one student to whom the tutor provides individualized instruction, aimed at helping the student achieve his or her own learning goals. Volunteers in the tutoring programs have considerable flexibility, since each tutor/student pair sets its own schedule and meets once or twice a week at any public place, such as a library or community center, that is convenient to both members.
