Meet weekly for a one-on-one conversation with an adult English learner. These meetings have a big impact on learners' lives!
Sessions happen in-person at Santa Clara City Libraries for 1-2 hours per week for six months. Weekdays only - no weekend volunteering opportunities.
No teaching experience needed - just patience and a desire to communicate. Training and materials are provided. Non-native speakers of English are welcome.
We are currently especially in need of tutors with intermediate or above Chinese speaking ability.
