Urgent Need for ESL Small-Group Tutors!

Save to Favorites

Imagine how hard life would be if you could not:

Introduce Yourself,

Read Grocery Labels or ask where something is,

Fill out a Job Application,

Navigate a phone call from your child’s school,

Speak English in an emergency situation, or,

Pronounce words comfortably.

For many of our students, this is a daily reality.

Literacy Connections has been in the non-profit business of helping people to read, write and reach their potential for over 40 years. We have a robust ESL Program in Dutchess County that services over 200 students and helps them with their short-term and long-term goals. Our immigrant students are from all over the world and come to us with a variety of educational experiences; some may have specialized Degrees in a highly complex field . . . others may have only attended 3 years of school. But the goal is the same! To be able to speak, listen and respond to the world around them so that they can be a useful part of life rather than "outside looking in". Limited verbal skills will not only negatively impact that individual, it also keeps a potentially useful member of society stuck on a path that offers no options.

We have an Urgent need for substitute Tutors and small-group tutors at the beginning and intermediate level. All training and continuing support is provided by us as you join an elite team of Tutors who are making a tangible impact in their community while enriching their own lives through the process of tutoring. It is an illuminating, rewarding and interesting experience!!
