The Gilchrist Immigrant Resource Center seeks volunteers to teach or co-teach our English as a Second Language (ESOL) classes for adults (18+). These classes aim to provide our clients with basic English-speaking skills to help them communicate independently in English.
Volunteer teachers will plan and teach basic, entry-level English as a Second Language to adult students in free classes offered at the East County Regional Service Center in Briggs Chaney, Maryland. Classes meet once a week on Wednesday evenings for 2 hours. Classes are offered per semester, with each semester running for 8 weeks.
Skills: Fluency in English (you do not need to speak another language). An interest in working with adult students from various cultural, educational, and ethnic backgrounds. Prior teaching experience is required. Volunteers will develop the lesson plans for their classes. Patience and a sense of humor are a plus. Commitment to teaching one class per week for 8 weeks is essential.
Days and Time: 2 hours per week. Wednesdays, 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM.
Location: East County Regional Service Center 3300 Briggs Chaney Road Silver Spring, MD 20904
