Volunteer Tutors Needed for Adult ESL & GED Classes- Burnsville

Save to Favorites

Help adult learners achieve their educational goals by becoming a tutor at ISD 191 School for Adults! We serve learners who are 17 years of age or older and are not enrolled in regular secondary school programs.

This Fall 2023 we are planning for mostly in-person classes, with some online opportunties as well. A classroom teacher will help you get connected with some students!

The major components of our Adult Basic Education (ABE) program include: English as a Second Language (ESL), Basic Skills (math, reading, and writing skills), GED preparation and testing, Citizenship preparation, Digital Literacy Skills (computer basics), a Pre-CNA Class, and Para Pro Prep and Testing.

Flexible morning, afternoon, and evening hours are available. Most classes are Monday-Thursday, but there is a Citizenship Class and Computer Class on Friday morning. Morning class times are Mon.-Thurs. 9:30-12:30, afternoon classes are Mon-Thurs, 1:00-3:30pm, and evening classes are T,Th from 6:00-9:00pm.

We are looking for volunteers to help students in small groups or 1:1 work on their reading, listening, speaking, and academic skills. Most volunteers tutor in one class per week. We are also looking for volunteers that can help with onboarding online students such as: student email, google classroom, and gooogle meet!

We are also looking for some tech savvy volunteers who would be willing to assist students with accessing their district email accounts, google classroom, and online learning platforms! We would love someone to help with this on Tues/Thurs evenings from 6-8pm.

If you are interested, Please contact Jill Bear. email: jbear@isd19.org or Susan Edmonson: sedmonson@isd191.org

A background check is required to volunteer in our program.
