LCS volunteers teach adults the English skills they need to be successful in their families, jobs, and the community. Most tutoring is one-to-one; however small class situations are also available.
Description:
LCS provides ESL Tutor Training in two modules. Class 1 and 2 provide the skills needed to teach English to a person with little or no English. No common language is needed and you need not be a trained teacher. Our "communicative" methods are practical and effective. We will offer you a choice of students and support your teaching efforts with suggestions and materials. After tutoring for several weeks, we offer Class 3 and 4 to build your skills for tutoring intermediate level student.
History:
Formed in 1969, LCS initially focuses on teaching Adult Basic English to American-born adults. Our focus now is ESL for foreign born students. LCS offers tutors flexible schedules, rewarding activity, and an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of families in the greater Seattle area. Join us!
