Tutor Volunteers for English as a Second Language

Bluffton Self Help is actively looking for volunteer tutors and substitute tutors for our English as a Second Language Courses (ESOL). You may be thinking, "I don't know another language"! But don't worry, you don't have to know one. You may also be thinking, "I'm not an educator!" Again, no education background is required. We will provide you with all of the training and resources you need. The classes are meant to be spoken in English so our students begin to learn our language. We use illustrations and other learning tools. The curriculum is spelled out for you as we have a Curriculum Specialist on staff. All you have to do is guide small groups (6 - 10) of adult learners through workbooks and lessons. Our biggest need is for tutors who can be available in the evening (6-8pm), but there are some opportunities during the daytime (9 - 11am). We offer classes in 4 different locations in Hilton Head, Bluffton and Hardeeville. We also have a strong need for tutors willing to serve in Hardeeville as this is a fast growing community with more affordable housing. We will host information sessions in the Fall and training sessions in November. The Spring classes will begin on January 9th, 2023 and are two hour classes taking place two times per week for 16 weeks. We understand if you come on board, that you may have travel plans and time away, life happens. We rely on substitutes to cover you when you can't lead your class. We also have classes that kick off in June 2023 if you are not available in the Spring.
