I've been an ESL tutor/instructor since Sept. 2017 at the Cedar Park location. I teach once a week in the evenings over a 8-10 week session. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to help the community and be a tutor for local residents looking to learn basic English and practice conversations. You get to plan your own lessons using provided materials and have a great support network of volunteers. The experience has been very rewarding and everyone has been great to work with it.
