English Classroom Aide

Learning the English language is one of the most crucial skills for refugees and immigrants to thrive in America. As an English Classroom Aide, you’ll provide support in an adult English class for refugees and immigrants.

Responsibilities include leading small group conversation or practice, monitoring student progress, one-on-one tutoring during class time, and assisting the teacher with other classroom duties.

Volunteers commit to at least one day per week for 4 to 6 months. Classes are 2 - 2.5 hours in length with the majority occurring weekday mornings, some weekday evenings, and a small number on Saturday mornings. Most classes are happening virtually at this time.

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

2 shifts available:

• 09:30 to 11:30 CST
• Several evenings a week we hold ESL classes in need of classroom aide volunteers: 18:30 to 20:30 CST
