We are seeking people with a lot of patience to work with students, many of whom don't know our alphabet and may or may not be able to read in their own language. Previous teaching or tutoring ESL is a plus, but not required, if the volunteer is sensitive to the needs of our students. Materials for teaching will be provided.
In some cases we have more advanced students needing tutoring, helping with conversational skills and building up their confidence when using English.
We also need math tutors, helping students whose goal it is to pass the high school equivalency.
