Position Summary

Many students in Minnesota need extra help developing strong foundational language skills and you can make all the difference. Take action as a tutor and join a team dedicated to helping all students succeed.

As an English Language Tutor, you’ll be placed at a local school where you’ll help students in middle school to improve their academic English language skills and gain confidence. Every day, you’ll meet with students one-on-one or in small groups to provide extra practice and build skills.

With great training and on-site coaching, we’ll prepare you to help students succeed. Students make the most progress when you are there, so our tutors serve during school hours and in the after-school program. Tutors are needed for the entire school year. We are currently recruiting tutors for the 2023-24 school year, with opportunities beginning in July.

This is an AmeriCorps member position with Language Corps. You will join an amazing group of members, determined to help students succeed.
