Needs From: The Triangle Nonprofit & Volunteer Leadership Center

ESL tutors provide English language instruction either one-on-one or in small groups of students who are at a similar level of English proficiency. These students come to us from all over the world and speak many different first (and often second and third) languages. Our classes are therefore full-English immersion, and we do not expect our tutors to be fluent in any language other than English. 

Once 12 hours of training is completed, this position will provide English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction to adults.  Sessions can be one-on-one or small group, in-person or virtual.  

Bull City YouthBuild:  a community-based pre-apprenticeship program that provides job training and educational opportunities for at-risk youth ages 16-24 who have dropped out of high school. Staff (instructors, case managers, job developers) assist participants in their goals to learn skills, earn GED’s, engage in community service, and prepare for postsecondary training and education opportunities including college, apprenticeships, and employment.

Prior to beginning tutoring, you will be asked to complete a short online training course to introduce you to our training materials and share the basics of lesson planning for our student population. During your time volunteering with the JLC, you will be asked to create and execute lesson plans with your student. You will be given access to an online database of lesson plans and educational materials that can serve as tools for creating these plans. Each month, you will be asked to submit a detailed report of both the work you are doing and the student’s academic progress. Tutors are asked to keep records of attempted academic interventions and student attendance.
