As a tutor, work one-on-one with an immigrant or new citizen and provide English literacy lessons along with cultural mentoring.
Tutors help students become an active member of their community in various ways:
* practice real world conversations relevant to the student's life and goals
* work with a student in their job search
* explain to a student how to rent an apartment or buy a new home
* prepare for their citizenship test
Tutors meet with their student for one hour a week during the academic school year. A Program Manager is on-site to provide guidance and support.
We are at the Downers Grove Public Library twice a week:
Monday: 3:00p - 8:00p
Thursday: 3:00p - 8:00p
We are at 15 locations, Monday through Friday, 9am to 8pm.
No experience necessary. A 12-hour free training is provided and required.
We are looking for tutors who are patient, encouraging, willing to learn, and are welcoming to people from different backgrounds. TEACH tutors are responsive to an individual’s language and cultural challenges.
