Project Light needs volunteers to teach English as a foreign language to adults in organized classes at Project Light's location (1104 14th Street West) and two other locations (Samoset and Palmetto). Project Light of Manatee is an Adult English Language School (non-profit) in Bradenton.
Most teachers teach 1-2 classes per week( 2-4 hrs) when they can complete a semester (Fall or Spring). The School is closed during the summertime. The school follows Manatee School District closure days.
The minimum required time is 2 hours.
The school has comfortable newly remodeled classrooms, textbooks, support, and training.
There are 5-14 students in a group. We do not require any previous teaching experience, although it is a plus.
Teacher training is provided individually or in groups throughout the year and daily if necessary.
