We are looking for ESL teacher(s) who have a credential to teach ESL one to four evenings per week to refugees and immigrants. It is a multi-level class and we use teacher aides in every class to help the main teacher. This is a perfect volunteer opportunity for a retired English or ESL teacher.
SESL offers regular ESL classes Monday through Wednesday and a special class of pronunciation and conversation on Thursdays. We are looking for a teacher who would be available (preferably) Monday and Tuesday 6:30 to 9:00 and on Wednesday from 7:30 to 9:00.
We are very interested in helping students who are working on their TESOL degrees or getting credential training and would like to help them get experience teaching our students who have such great need to acquire so much knowledge in order to be successful in this country.
Experience teaching ESL would be helpful but not absolutely necessary as we will provide as much training as necessary. Teacher training and help with curriculum are both available. We would prefer someone who can take the Monday through Wednesday classes. The ESL and pronunciation classes could be rearranged to fit people's availability and schedules.
We use the Oxford Picture Dictionary, Step Forward, and Focus on Grammar as our principal texts, all of which are available to our students in the classroom.
Fall classes will begin on September 11 and continue throughout the year (June 2018). They go from 6:30 - 9:00 pm and we take regular holidays. We cannot offer a salary but would like to give volunteers a monthly stipend.
If you are interested in this opportunity to serve, please email seslprogram@yahoo.com for more information and you will be directed to our Volunteer Coordinator.

Mission Statement
Sacramento ESL Program, in collaboration with the community of the Greater Sacramento area, provides adults whose native tongue is not English instruction, resources, technology, opportunities, and tools in an encouraging, positive learning environment where they have the opportunity to acquire necessary basic skills in reading, speaking, and writing English and listening skills and to be empowered to participate more fully in the daily tasks and responsibilities of life in the US. We also provide our adult students with literacy and numeracy skills, skills necessary to become employable, write resumes and other job seeker documents, acquire interview skills, etc. A goal for the future is to provide computer classes where our adult students will be able to learn and improve skills in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Internet, and email as well as specific, basic skills that will help them become job ready and employable.
Description
Founded in 2012 Sacramento ESL Program (SESL) has been slowly growing ever since. In September 2015, we entered into a partnership with Fruit Ridge Community Collaborative in an area of South Sacramento designated a Ground Zero Promise Zone by President Obama where we now have technological capabilities, storage space, and our own furniture for teachers and students. We are holding evening classes there in Beginning to Intermediate Low levels. SESL provides more than 8 hours of ESL instruction per week to adults from all over the world, including Asia, Europe, Africa, and Central and South America. We are looking to expand our program and are seeking volunteers with experience and vision in specific areas of business development and strategy planning.
