English Tutor

Overview: English is an important pillar of our organization, and many of our students need support outside of class. If you want to work with students ages 7-15, you can help us give our primary and básico students the additional attention they need to improve their grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and general comfort in English. If you want to work with students ages 15-23, many of our scholarship students are studying careers that require a strong foundation for English. You can give these high school and university students the additional support to succeed. We prefer you to have prior experience working as an ESL tutor. You need an intermediate level of Spanish and must work as an English tutor for a minimum of 3 weeks.
