    Description

    ​​​​​​Learning the English language is one of the most crucial skills for refugees and immigrants to thrive in America. As an English Language Tutor, you’ll practice conversational English and language skills with an adult refugee or immigrant and become friends in the process!

    Tutors meet their student(s) in-person, typically at the student's home, or virtually for about 1 - 2 hours once a week for 6 months, walking through a short lesson that focuses on speaking and listening.

    Training and materials are provided. No previous English teaching experience is necessary. Knowledge of another language is not necessary. **Volunteers must be Illinois residents**
