We are currently looking for a tutor to teach the beginner beginner students on Wednesdays. Substitute Tutors: Substitutes are called infrequently when we need a replacement tutor. This is great if you are retired or have a flexible work/life schedule that means you are likely to be available with a bit of notice. Floaters: Non-specific volunteers are invaluable at our program. You get to come every Wednesday or Thursday (or less frequently if you like) and help set up the rooms, greet people, help new students fill in forms, help warm up lunch, do attendance and distribute bus tickets, and help clean up after lunch and after class. This is a great position if you're looking to teach English in the future or be more involved in the community but need a soft start to ease in.
