Volunteers are needed as tutors. No foreign language or teaching experience is required. Tutors readily agree that they learn as much they teach. We emphasize practical conversation, in contrast to formal class instruction. The ESL program is for adults and children of all ethnic groups who are permanent residents.
Classes are free, and there is no political or religious agenda.
The program is part of the social concerns function of United First Parish Church. We also help with citizenship test preparation, drivers licenses, and a variety of other hurdles faced by the immigrant community.
