    Description

    Tutor an ESL adult students attending community college!

    Upwards Scholars, a nonprofit located in Northern California, provides academic support to ESL students, so they can attend community colleges in the San Mateo Community College District and Peralta Community College District in California. We are looking for tutors to work with our students on their ESL or ESOL class assignments. Most tutors meet with their students once a week (60 to 90 minutes) to go over their class assignments. Students and tutors work out a time and communication tool that works for them both.
