It is not ideal for those looking for a one-time engagement. The Adult Education Department of the Cultural Development and Wellness Center is a subsidiary of Aurora Mental Health and Recovery. ROLE OF AN ADULT ESL VIRTUAL TUTOR: Tutors offer enrolled students one-hour, private tutoring sessions on Zoom. Our students greatly benefit from the opportunity to practice English individually outside of class, making this role invaluable to their learning journey! TUTOR REQUIREMENTS: Tutors are required to speak fluent English. Tutors assist students with specific English literacy skills: pronunciation, reading, and writing and are expected to become familiar with our learning platform to support students working on homework. This role requires the ability to guide with clarity, encouragement, and engagement, along with a foundational understanding of trauma-informed care. Although you don't need teaching experience to assist in this role, the role may requires minimal lesson preparation depending on student's needs. COMMITMENT: All volunteers are expected to complete online training and observe experienced tutors before tutoring independently. We ask virtual volunteers to commit to at least 13 weeks, aligning with the duration of our trimester. Tutors select regular time slots that fit their personal schedules and maintain consistency throughout the trimester. Sessions are available on weekdays, afternoons, evenings, and weekends to accommodate various availability. All appointments take place via Zoom. Application: https://forms.gle/3yRvgg9Y6ekcQofe6 (Do not apply on the VolunteerMatch website) CONTACT: Jade Pellerito, jadepellerito@auroramhr.org Application, interview, and background check are required.

ROLE OF A CITIZENSHIP VIRTUAL TUTOR: Tutors offer enrolled students one-hour, private tutoring sessions on Zoom. Students who meet the residency requirements for citizenship are strongly encouraged to study in preparation for this important and often challenging interview. The interview is conducted one-on-one in an office setting and is mostly conversational. Because of this, students greatly benefit from tutoring that mimics the format of the naturalization application. TUTOR REQUIREMENTS: Citizenship tutors are asked to provide a minimum of one-hour weekly Zoom sessions with individual students. Due to the complex nature of this application, tutors shadow existing tutors several times before working independently. Tutors assist with various areas of the application process, generally focusing on one area per session. The application process includes completing paperwork, demonstrating knowledge of basic civics, and completing both a speaking and a written portion. Citizenship volunteers MUST be sympathetic to supporting refugee and immigrant students in this vulnerable move toward a challenging goal. Emotional intelligence, a clear, encouraging manner of engaging with students, and ideally, some understanding of trauma informed care, is essential to this position.
