Description
ESOL Tutor/ESOL Substitute Tutor (~ 6 hours per week)
A Faith That Does Justice is an interfaith organization that challenges people to experience God by living their faith intentionally in service to others. We do this by showing how unjust societal structures marginalize people and by acting to help those in need. Our vision is people intentionally living their faith in action.
Why teach English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)?
Use teaching to serve social justice and build your own teaching skills. Help adult learners in vulnerable populations develop the language skills needed to obtain employment and to live successfully in this country. Through its interfaith mission to foster meaningful relationships and build solidarity among Boston residents, the ESOL program of A Faith That Does Justice creates an expanded community network for tutors as well as students.

12 weeks long, two days of 2-hour sessions per week
Approximately 10 students grouped by proficiency levels (Beginner & Intermediate)

Tutors are supported by ESOL Teachers and Student Relationship Managers (mentors)

Is this right for me?
Tutors do not need to be bilingual as classes are taught in English, but the ability to speak Spanish is helpful. While prior tutoring experience is preferred, it is not required. We seek tutors who are patient, engaging and dedicated to the mission of empowerment through education. AFTDJ is an interfaith program; members of all faiths and beliefs are welcome as both students and teachers.
Full Time Tutor vs. Substitute Tutor?
Full Time Tutor would be expected to provide tutoring help twice a week for a 12week period. A Substitute Tutor would be expected to be able to step in for Full Time Tutor on short notice in cases where the Full Time Tutor is not able to make a class.
