Tutors
We always have a need for tutors in our ESL program -- no experience is necessary!
Flexible Scheduling to meet your need - generally once per week.
Most tutoring occurs with one or two participants (couple or family). All materials are provided, along with training and support. It is a most rewarding way to impact the community.
