Our learners come from a variety of backgrounds and are working to build foundational skills to support their personal, academic, or career goals.  Requirements: Strong command of spoken and written English, fundamentals of English grammar, sentence structure and vocabulary. Clear and understandable English pronunciation, suitable for learners who are developing foundational literacy skills. Our students are learning the building blocks of English literacy.

No formal teaching experience is necessary-- just patience, empathy and a strong grasp of English.
