Opportunity Details
ESL Tutor for a Refugee
Often it is hard for parents to leave their houses to attend English classes. This is especially true for mothers who are usually home alone with many children. We aim to meet refugees and immigrants where they are with our English as a Second Language (ESL) program.
- Our ESL program is for adults who cannot easily leave their house for class.
- Our target audience is adults who speak little to no English.
- Students attend a weekly live Zoom class or watch the recorded class. They also spend at least 1 hour in person with their tutor each week. The tutor goes to the student's house for their 1-hour tutor sessions.
- Volunteer English tutors are paired with a student in our program. Our volunteer tutors are given lesson resources to support their student's ability to communicate and be part of the community.
What are the teaching expectations?
-
The tutor and student will meet once a week in the student’s home, for approximately an hour each time.
-
Volunteers spend about an hour outside of their in-person time communicating through WhatAapp, reviewing, and possibly preparing the activities suggested to them on our Google Classroom.
-
Build a relationship with the student
-
Tutors will submit monthly reports to the program coordinators to monitor progress. On occasion they will also be asked to administer language tests to their students to assess language improvement.
We would love to have you on our volunteer team!
