    Our adult learners come from all over the world and have diverse educational backgrounds and English proficiency levels. As a volunteer tutor, you can support immigrants and refugees in:

    • Improving English skills for everyday communication
    • Developing digital literacy, from basic computer skills to navigating online tools
    • Building skills for employment, including resume writing, interview practice, and workplace communication
    • Preparing for U.S. citizenship by practicing English skills and the civics test

    Why volunteer?

    • Flexible schedule — meet weekly at times that work for you
    • One-on-one or small group tutoring sessions tailored to your learner’s goals
    • Online or in-person (Chicago locations in Belmont-Cragin, Ukrainian Village, and Uptown neighborhoods)
    • No prior teaching experience required — we provide training and ongoing support
    • Gain valuable experience in teaching, mentoring, coaching, and intercultural communication
    • Join a community of volunteers dedicated to expanding educational opportunities
