Upwards Scholars, a nonprofit located in Northern California, provides academic support ESL students so they can attend any of the three community colleges in the San Mateo Community College District (i.e., Cañada College, College of San Mateo, Skyline College) in California. We are looking for tutors to work with our students on their ESL class assignments. Most tutors meet with their students once a week (60 to 90 minutes) to go over their class assignments. Since students will continue with their online learning, all tutoring session will be virtual (email, phone, text and video conferencing). Students and tutors work out a time and communication tool that works for them both.

Mission Statement

Upward Scholars provides adult immigrants the boost they need to move up the economic ladder through education and vocational support.

Description

Upward Scholars supports students with the following:

  • Textbooks, which can cost several hundred dollars a semester.
  • Bus passes, which cost $320 a semester, for all students who need to take the bus to college.
  • Tutors, by community volunteers who meet with students at a time and location that is convenient to the student and tutor.
