We are looking for volunteer teachers and aides to help with our ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. We have been offering English classes in the local community for over 20 years; we currently have six different levels of instruction, and offer classes at a variety of times: 10:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., and weekends. The students are all adults, and predominantly Latino; they are good-humored, dedicated, eager to learn, and very grateful for the help you give them. Working with them is both highly rewarding and a lot of fun.
For the teachers, we provide textbooks, supplemental instructional materials, classroom supplies, and everything else you need to run a class. Teachers design their own lessons.
In addition to teachers, aides play an important role in the classroom. Aides do a variety of things in the class: they assist individual students, work with students in groups, help the teacher model dialogues, check student work and give them feedback, and so on.
Most of our teachers come with some prior training or classroom experience. For aides, no experience is necessary -- just a desire to engage with students and help them work on their English skills. In both positions, you don’t have to speak Spanish. If you’ll be out of town occasionally, that is not a problem; we have a list of subs who can fill in for you while you are away. If you can’t make a sustained commitment, we could perhaps use you as a substitute teacher or aide.
