Wednesday Evening Math Teachers

Save to Favorites

We are looking for dedicated volunteers to teach in our PM ESL math classes, one day a week for our PM Math classes, 5:30-6:30pm Wednesday.

Math tutors work on developing math language skills (learning English words for "add", "fraction", "equals") along with basic math skills. No prior teaching experience is necessary. The math is pretty basic, and for the most part, teaching English while practicing math skills is the greatest challenge and delight of this unique volunteer opportunity. We train our volunteers at our site and we also require volunteers to attend a 12-hour tutor training within 90 days of volunteering. Some exceptions to this training apply. Background check for all volunteers is also part of application process.

The English Learning Center is a program of Our Saviour's Community Services, a community-based nonprofit. We provide English (ESL), math, citizenship, computer and reading classes as well as advocacy to adult immigrants and refugees in the Phillips neighborhood of South Minneapolis. Currently the English Learning Center serves nearly 400 adult students each year. It has become a well-known community center for immigrants and refugees from all around the world. We are a volunteer-based organization: over 130 volunteers teach all the program classes.
