Upwards Scholars, a nonprofit located in Northern California, provides academic support to ESL students, so they can attend community colleges in the San Mateo Community College District and Peralta Community College District in California. We are looking for tutors to work with our students on their ESL or ESOL class assignments. Most tutors meet with their students once a week (60 to 90 minutes) to go over their class assignments. Since students will continue with their online learning, all tutoring sessions will be virtual (email, phone, text, and video conferencing). Students and tutors work out a time and communication tool that works for them both.

Mission Statement
Upward Scholars provides adult immigrants the boost they need to move up the economic ladder through education and vocational support.
Description
Upward Scholars supports students with the following:
- Textbooks, which can cost several hundred dollars a semester.
- Bus passes, which cost $320 a semester, for all students who need to take the bus to college.
- Tutors, by community volunteers who meet with students at a time and location that is convenient to the student and tutor.
- Laptops for students who need them.
- College advising to help students choose classes, resolve financial aid issues, and navigate the college bureaucracy. Silicon Valley Community Foundation makes this possible.
We also have a Conversation Club where students chat informally with community volunteers.
