    Description

    English Tutoring for Speakers of Other Languages

    Did you know that 1 in 6 adults in Washington State lack the English literacy skills needed to get a livable wage job? Literacy Source makes it possible for adults to gain the basic literacy skills they need to succeed in school, to find a job, to achieve life goals, and to create a better, more hopeful future.

    Tutors help our students gain self-sufficiency and greater confidence in their English listening/speaking, reading and writing, and digital literacy skills.

    Our volunteer ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) tutors offer individualized support to adults who want to improve their basic reading and writing skills, math skills, or those who want to improve their English by developing lesson plans that focus on each individual students' needs and own goals from beginner to intermediate level.

    We work with a diverse group of both native and non-native English speakers at our learning center in Lake City.

    Bilingualism (especially in Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Somali, Tigrinya, or Oromo) and/or experience working with adult immigrants and/or refugees is a plus.

    Training and support will be provided.

    Literacy Source is an equal opportunity employer working towards a culturally diverse workplace. We strongly encourage applications from the BIPOC community, immigrants, refugees, women, people with disabilities, members of the LBGTQ community and other underrepresented and historically marginalized groups.
